Carotid and Internal Jugular Venous Pulsations Demonstrated in a Single Frame This clinical example highlights the simultaneous visualization of carotid arterial pulsations and internal jugular venous pulsations on the neck. • The carotid artery produces a strong, single, outward pulse corresponding to each heartbeat. • The internal jugular vein exhibits a softer, undulating venous waveform influenced by atrial activity and central venous pressure. Recognizing the difference between these two pu
