  Respiratory phasic variation is a normal phenomenon in the lower limb veins. Whenever there is evidence of a pulsatile flow or a positive wave seen above the baseline it calls for evaluation of the cardiovascular system. We present three cases of pulsatile wave form in the lower limb veins that had cardiac pathologies.
