 | | When the papillary muscles relax, the valves close. | | | As the papillary muscles contract and relax, the chordae tendineae transmit the resulting increase and decrease in tension to the respective valves, causing them to open and close. | | | The chordae tendineae are string-like in appearance and are sometimes referred to as "heart strings." |

| | The left ventricle is much thicker than the right because it must pump blood around the entire body, which involves exerting a considerable force to overcome the pressure caused by the body. | | | Finally complete cardiac diastole involves the relaxation of the atria and ventricles in preparation for new blood to enter the heart. | | | The ventricles are the parts of the heart that pump blood around the body or to the |

| | Heart surgery is very risky because the heart's pumping action is so critical for survival. | | | The heart you see drawn on the average Valentine is only a rough representation of the actual structure of the heart. | | | The left ventricle contracts most forcefully, so you can best feel your heart pumping on the left side of your chest. |

| | The deep layers are three in number; they arise in the papillary muscles of one ventricle and, curving in an S-shaped manner, turn in at the longitudinal sulcus and end in the papillary muscles of the other ventricle. | | | During the period of rest the tension of the tricuspid and bicuspid valves is relaxed, and blood is flowing from the veins into the atria, being aspirated by negative intrathoracic pressure, and slightly also from the atria into the ventricles. | | | It is placed obliquely in the chest behind the body of the sternum and adjoining parts of the rib cartilages, and projects farther into the left than into the right half of the thoracic cavity, so that about one-third of it is situated on the right and two-thirds on the left of the median plane. |

| | These delicate structures allow for the efficient flow of blood progressively forward through the heart's chambers, maximizing the efficiency of the heart muscle's work. | | | To review the flow of blood through the heart, you can check out "The Heart" animation. | | | Above all, material on this site should not take the place of the care you receive from a personal physician. |

| | These facts emphasize the importance of continued regular follow-up with a cardiologist for the life of a patient with single ventricle heart defects. | | | With proper management this can be achieved by 2 to 3 years of age when the blood vessels to the lungs have grown and relaxed sufficiently to accept all the blood flow from the body without the need for a pumping ventricle to force it there. | | | Leaky or tight valves may adversely affect the function of the ventricle or the flow of blood to the lungs. |

| | heart failure may be easier if you understand what's happening inside the body. | | | The body diverts blood away from less important tissues and organs to maintain flow to the most vital organs, the heart and brain. | | | If the ventricle loses its ability to relax ( diastolic failure) because the muscle has become stiff, the heart can't properly fill with blood during the resting period between each beat. |
