The papillary muscles are muscles located in the ventricles of the heart. They attach to the cusps of the atrioventricular valves (also known as the mitral and tricuspid valves) via the chordae tendineae and contract to prevent inversion or prolapse of these valves on systole (or ventricular contraction).
The three papillary muscles of the right ventricle have highly variable anatomy with the anterior papillary muscle usually being the most prominent. The anterior and septal papillary muscles are connected by the moderator band.
The papillary muscles are muscles located in the ventricles of the heart. They attach to the cusps of the atrioventricular valves (also known as the mitral and tricuspid valves) via the chordae tendineae and contract to prevent inversion or prolapse of these valves on systole (or ventricular contraction).
2 sie 2021 · The papillary muscles are thick bands and ridges of endocardial-lined myocardium that project into the lumen of the cardiac ventricles. They essentially represent dominant ventricular trabeculae which attach to the cusps of the atrioventricular valves via the chordae tendineae.
1 wrz 2023 · In left ventricle, one anterior (46%) and two posterior papillary muscles (26%) were most common. In both the ventricles, commonly observed gross appearances of papillary muscles were conical and flat-topped. Papillary muscles were lengthier in left ventricle than right ventricle.
The papillary muscles originate in ventricular wall; attached to anterior and posterior mitral valve cusps via cordae tendinae.
19 sie 2019 · Papillary muscle dysfunction may result in mitral regurgitation, whereas papillary muscle rupture can be fatal if untreated. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is a modality well suited to the evaluation of papillary muscles, offering good spatial and temporal resolution, inherent soft tissue contrast, and lack of ionizing radiation.
