The chordae tendineae, often known as heart strings, are vital tendinous cords in the heart that connect the papillary muscles to the tricuspid and mitral valves.
These cords prevent the valves from inverting by holding them tight when the heart pumps blood. Learn about their importance in maintaining healthy heart function and what happens when they are damaged.
