Highlights

• The X descent is due to downward movement of the lateral annulus of the tricuspid valve during RV contraction and atrial relaxation. It coincides with ST segment on electrocardiogram.
• X descent is determined by right atrial and right ventricular function, volume loading conditioning and pericardial forces.
