Descripción: A knowledge of the role played by the papillary muscles in the activity of the heart and especially in the closure and function of the mitral valve has become important to the surgeon involved in surgery of the cardiac valves. Current surgical techniques tend to destroy the normal relationships of the papillary muscles and there is some clinical evidence (16.20) that this is detrimental to the cardiac dynamics. Current understanding of the importance of the papillary muscle mechanism is limited by a lack of information describing the activities of the papillary muscles. It is the object of this thesis to investigate the activity of the papillary muscles and to relate these observations to an understanding of the role of the papillary muscles in atrioventricular valve function.
