Definition
Frog sign refers to so-called bilateral (Krinock 2021) grafting of the jugular veins (pulsatile protrusion of the jugular veins [Ashraf 2020]) that occurs with simultaneous contraction of the atria and ventricles (Herold 2022).
The frog sign is seminal for AV nodal reentry tachycardia (Trappe 2009). It can also occur in "circus movement tachycardia" with accessory pathways (Marx 2015).
