Chordae tendinae left ventricle damage?
Chordae tendinae left ventricle damage may result in severe consequences. These include Mitral valve prolapses, mitral regurgitation, bicuspid prolapse and bicuspid regurgitation.
What structures works to prevent prolapse of the atrioventricular valves?
The papillary muscles and the chordae tendinae work to prevent prolapse of the AV valves. This prevents backflow of blood in the heart.
Why does mitral valve prolapse occur more often than tricuspid prolapse?
Because there is much more pressure on the mitral valve.Mitral valve prolapse occur more often than tricuspid valve prolapses because the mitral valve is attached to the left ventricle by two chordae tendinae, whereas the tricuspid valve adheres to the right ventricle via three chordae tendinae. Thus, the tricuspid valve has more stability and is less likely to prolapse.
Function of heart strings?
They connect the papillary muscles to the tricuspid valve and the mitral valve in the heart. also i like bananas :)
Is true the chordae tendineae anchor the semilunar valves to the walls of the ventricles?
No. in my opinion, Chordae tendineae is attached to Tricuspid valve and bicuspid valve. Both valves do not have semilunar valves. Pulmonary valve and Aortic valve has semilunar valve.
