The femoral vein spectral display demonstrates a highly pulsatile waveform with significant flow interruptions (white arrows) and prominent retrograde waves above the baseline (yellow arrows), suggestive of severe venous congestion.

Antegrade femoral vein flow velocity representing vein flow from the periphery to the right side of the heart is 30 cm/s, whereas retrograde velocity of 35 cm/s represents systolic flow reversal, right ventricular dysfunction
