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).

EKG shows sinus brady at 57 with U waves
Subject: EKG shows sinus brady at 57 with U waves

Ok, I'm confused. I've never heard this before. What does it mean and how should it be transcribed? The hosptial I work for likes EKG to be expanded so I know I need to do that, I'm thinking "brady" needs to be "bradycardia" and maybe the 57 is referring to beats. So: "Electrocardiogram shows sinus bradycardia at 57 beats/min. with U waves." Is that right or am I way off?

This is in regards to an elevated hematocrit. The doctor states there is no sign of bleeding and then says what sounds like the "CVA" or something DA -all I can tell is that it seems to end in D, KCDA?  Is normal, so that is encouraging as well. There is page turning going on that makes it impossible to hear properly!

What are normal levels of AST and ALT?

The normal range of values for ALT (SGPT) is from 7 to 56 units per liter of serum.

The normal range of values for AST (SGOT) is from 5 to 40 units per liter of serum (the liquid part of the blood).
