Friedreich's sign

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In medicine, Friedreich's sign is the diastolic collapse of the neck veins due to adhesion of the pericardium, leading to a dramatic Y descent in jugular venous pressure, and may be seen in constrictive pericarditis with a calcified pericardium, and in tricuspid regurgitation.
