Altered right ventricular papillary muscle position and orientation in patients with dilated left ventricles

Year: 2009

Type: article

Abstract: Displacement of papillary muscle (PM) positions in the right ventricle (RV) may be an important factor in inducing tricuspid regurgitation (TR). We hypothesize that left ventricular (LV) dilation is one possible mechanism for RV PM displacement; given the adjacent and proximal relative positions of the two ventricles.
