Cannon ‘a’ wave in venous waveform is suggestive of
High-Yield Explanation
The venous waveform is divided into several distinct peaks. The 'a' wave reflects right atrial presystolic contraction and occurs just after the electrocardiographic P wave, preceding the first heart sound (S). A prominent 'a' wave is seen in patients with reduced right ventricular compliance; cannon 'a' wave occurs with atrioventricular (AV) dissociation
