  At the same time, the Valsalva maneuver (phase II) decreases the intensity of most other murmurs, including aortic stenosis and atrial septal defect. [en.wikipedia.org]

• Collapse

  Collapsed IVC showed during the maneuver in normal healthy subjects using ultrasonography study, but IVC showed angular appearance and not collapsed during the maneuver in the venography study [ 10, 11 ]. [e-ultrasonography.org]

  The scope should be gradually withdrawn through the bladder neck and urethra, taking care to view the urethral mucosa and structure as the lumen collapses past the end of the scope. [emedicine.medscape.com]

  There is a substantial increase in the vascular lumen, especially in those patients in whom the vessel is found to be collapsed (e.g. in hypovolemic patients). [neurologyindia.com]

• Inflammation

  Intra-articular injection of steroid is a common treatment for osteoarthritis of the knee and injection is a simple and reliable method of for relieving pain and inflammation in patients with knee osteoarthritis. [medcraveonline.com]

  Consider a nasal steroid spray, such as Flonase to limit inflammation of the sinus lining. Surgical Procedure Debride the socket and pack with Gelfoam to help form a blood clot. [oasisdiscussions.ca]

  Bladder neck fronds and polyps or cystitis cystica can indicate prior or chronic inflammation. Findings including urinary tract fistulas, diverticular openings, and functional ureteral abnormalities can be also visualized with cystourethroscopy. [emedicine.medscape.com]

• Surgical Procedure

  METHODS: A prospective observational study included 100 women with POP attending a tertiary urogynecology clinic in the UK and undergoing vaginal prolapse surgical procedures between October 2011 and October 2014. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Surgical Procedure Debride the socket and pack with Gelfoam to help form a blood clot. Close with a buccal advancement flap: advance some buccal soft tissue over onto the palate and secure it with sutures. [oasisdiscussions.ca]

• Infectious Mononucleosis

  Bilateral cervical adenopathy is also prominent in tuberculosis, coccidioidomycosis, infectious mononucleosis, toxoplasmosis, sarcoid, lymphomas, and leukemias. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Sneezing

  Next, various nasal irritants were used to induce a sneeze. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  As a matter of fact, it’s something that could potentially occur any time you have a bodily function… …For example, you will involuntarily perform the Valsalva maneuver if you strain while sneezing, coughing, gagging, tossing your cookies, taking a leak [kingofthegym.com]

  There was no history of trauma or violent exertion but the patient had hay fever and had frequent episodes of sneezing. On examination his vision was 6/6 and hand movements in right and left eyes, respectively. [doi.org]

  Common Initial Treatment: Estimate the fistula diameter 1-2 mm : No treatment required as it will usually naturally heal. 2 -4 mm : Carefully follow the patient after 1-2 weeks and advise to avoid straining the area (no holding back sneezes, no smoking [oasisdiscussions.ca]

• Dyspnea

  BACKGROUND: For the clinical assessment of patients with dyspnea, the inversion of the early (E) and late (A) transmitral flow during Valsalva maneuver (VM) frequently helps to distinguish pseudonormal from normal filling pattern. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Vomiting

  Soon after intravenous injection of fluorescein, the patient had an extended episode of vomiting resulting in bilateral vitreous hemorrhages. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  "a particular form of retinopathy, pre-retinal and hemorrhagic in nature, secondary to a sudden increase in intrathoracic pressure." [1] It was used to describe retinal hemorrhages in association with heavy lifting, coughing, straining at stool, or vomiting [emedicine.com]

  Defecation or urination (many dies on the toilet seat), using the arm and upper trunk muscles to move up in bed, or strains during coughing, gagging or vomiting. [breathing.com]

• Constipation

  In individuals with both severe coronary heart disease and constipation, but unlikely in healthy individuals, straining at the toilet may trigger a heart attack. [ehealthstar.com]

  Constipation is a very common human experience and should be regarded as an important precipitating factor in some migraine patients, particularly those who are found refractory to routine preventive strategies. [jewisoneqynyje.ml]

  Constipation increases the risk of cardiovascular trauma in such patients, especially if they perform a Valsalva maneuver in trying to move their bowels. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

• Tachycardia

  Patients were at least 10 years of age with regular narrow complex tachycardia and had an ECG diagnosis of SVT. Patients with regular narrow complex tachycardia were randomly assigned to undergo either the Valsalva maneuver or CSM. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  There is a regular narrow complex tachycardia at a rate of 191. There are no visible P-waves. This is likely AV nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) or orthodromic AV reentrant tachycardia (AVRT). [ecgmedicaltraining.com]

• Heart Disease

  Responses (4) and (5) disappear with many forms of heart disease. [med.umich.edu]

  Of these, 14 showed clinical signs of congestive heart failure and 11 had significant heart disease. [jamanetwork.com]

• Palpitations

  If this procedure does not stop your SVT and the palpitations continue for more than 20 minutes, you may need to go to the emergency department for treatment. [fairview.org]

  For example, your next door neighbor comes to you complaining of palpitations or what may be SVT and you advise them to sit on the toilet or in a chair and exert force as if they were having a bowel movement. [allnurses.com]

  Case: A 19-year-old male arrives at the ED complaining of palpitations. He is known to have supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) and has been in before for the same condition. He is hemodynamically stable, and the electrocardiogram (ECG) shows SVT. [acepnow.com]

  EMS is called to the clubhouse of a golf course for a female patient in her early 50s complaining of palpitations. She had just finished playing 18 holes when her “heart started racing”. [ecgmedicaltraining.com]

  Symptoms may include awareness of tachycardia, palpitation, dizziness, breathlessness, mild chest discomfort and syncope, although some patients remain asymptomatic. [racgp.org.au]

• Chest Pain

  On rare occasions, the Valsalva maneuver can be used to diminish chest pain in patients with mild coronary disease. [encyclopedia.com]

  People who suffer from the sudden, sharp chest pains called angina pectoris usually carry nitroglycerin pills or amyl nitrite for quick, dramatic relief. [content.time.com]

You see, like most things in the human body, the response to the Valsalva maneuver is nuanced and extraordinarily complex. ( Editor's note: while all the details behind the Valsalva’s physiology and related epidemiology is beyond the scope of this article [floelite.com]

Epidemiology Frequency The frequency of Valsalva retinopathy is difficult to ascertain considering the rare nature of the condition. United States The incidence of Valsalva retinopathy in the United States has not been reported. [emedicine.com]

The clinical relevance of this finding and the pathophysiologic implications are reviewed and discussed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathophysiology A sudden rise in intrathoracic or intraabdominal pressure against a closed glottis, the Valsalva’s maneuver reduces venous return to the heart and stroke volume, consequently increasing venous system pressure. [eyewiki.aao.org]
