Examination of the internal jugular veins is little if at all taught in French medical schools. However, it is useful for two reasons: estimation of the central venous pressure, the internal jugular veins acting as manometers, and the configuration of the jugular venous pulse which reliably reflects the pressure curve of the right atrium. Thus, by simple inspection, examination of the internal jugular veins can reveal important hemodynamic information from the right side of the heart.
