“…'4, 17, 20 This might be better understood if one considers the blood supply of the papillary muscles. The anterior papillary muscle receives its blood supply from branches of the left anterior descending and circumflex arteries, while the posterior muscle gets its blood supply from branches of the right coronary and left circumflex arteries in 70%, from the right coronary artery alone in 20%, and the left circumflex artery in 10% of the cases.34 36 The presence of severe obstructive coronary artery disease in all of our cases appears to be the most important contributing factor accounting for the differences in the number of prolapsed scallops observed, since normal mitral valve function depends on a rather complex and finely coordinated system of which the papillary muscle is one of the principal components.…”

“…function of the mitral apparatus with resulting mitral regurgitation [4-131. The syndrome of papillary muscle dysfunction as the etiology has been characterized in selected patient groups [9,14,15,16]. The purpose of this study is to characterize the clinical, electrocardiographic, and angiographic findings in a large number of patients with coronary heart disease and mitral regurgitation to define further the clinical significance of mitral regurgitation in this setting.…”

“…Like us, he found that generalized hypokinesis and ventricular aneurysm were significantly more frequent in the group with mitral incompetence, whereas the frequency of localized contraction abnormalities was not significantly different in the two groups. Mitral insufficiency associated with congestive heart failure is invariably associated with an abnormal left ventricular contractile pattern ranging from localized contractile abnormality to generalized hypokinesis [4,8,9,11,15,16,21].…”

“…On the basis of anatomical and radiological studies it has been suggested that their contribution is twofold; firstly, tension exerted through the chordae tendineae at end-diastole draws the valve cusps toward a position of partial closure; secondly, early contraction of these muscles compensates for ventricular shortening during systole and thus prevents bulging of the valve leaflets into the atrium and associated mitral regurgitation (Shelburne, Rubinstein, and Gorlin, 1969;Tsakiris et al, 1970). Infarction and asynergy of a portion of the left ventricle at the base of a papillary muscle may interfere with proper functioning of this structure by means of a change in directional axis (Shelburne et al, 1969). Paradoxical expansion of an inferior wall aneurysm may carry the base of the papillary muscle away from its normal position, thus changing the normal spatial three-dimensional alignment necessary for proper mitral valve closure.…”
