Introduction The two left ventricular papillary muscles are small structures at sternocostal
and inferior wall but are vital to mitral valve competence. Extra papillary muscles could be …

Results The left and right ventricles contained two and three papillary muscles, respectively,
in all the hearts. In the right ventricles, conical shape and the single base and divided apex …

Introduction Papillary muscle plays an important role in stabilizing the position of the
tricuspid valve. Several pathologies can result in anatomical and functional abnormalities of …

Introduction The papillary muscles (PM) play a vital role in atrioventricular (AV) valve
function. The PM and their chordae tendineae (CT) regulate the closure of the AV valve …

Background: In both ventricles of the heart papillary muscles play important role for proper

False tendons (FTs) are fibrous or fibromuscular bands that can be found in both the normal
and abnormal human heart in various anatomical forms depending on their attachment …

The complex architecture of the papillary muscles (PMs) of the ventricles plays a crucial role
in cardiac function and pathology. This comparative study aimed to examine the differences …

Our results were obtained by dissection of 56 cords, wich presented at the papillary muscle
of the left ventricle, 106 muscular bodies and from those, 58 muscular bodies were for the …

Papillary muscles, as components of the subvalvular apparatus, play a crucial role in the
proper functioning of the heart valves. Although the most commonly encountered variants …

Papillary muscles in the left ventricle present multiple anatomic expressions that are relevant
for medical fields focusing on the understanding of clinical events involving these structures …
