At 0o jugular veins should be filled. An impulse visible just prior to S1 or the upstroke of the carotid is the "a-wave". This will be followed by a x-descent. The 'c' wave is usually not visible. The 'v' wave occurs after the start of the carotid upstroke and during ventricular systole (which is atrial diastole). When the tricuspid valve opens there is a brisk descent (y-descent).
