The chordae tendineae (sg.: chorda tendinea) or tendinous cords, colloquially known as the heart strings, are inelastic cords of fibrous connective tissue that connect the papillary muscles to the tricuspid valve and the mitral valve in the heart.[1][2]

the mitral valve only has a single papillary muscle from which all chordaetendineae originate. It is caused by an embryologic failure of papillary muscles...
