The mitral valve consists of two valve leaflets , the anterior leaflet (A) and the rear leaflet (P) , which together have a surface of 4 - 6cm<sup>2</sup>. Via chordae tendineae, small tendons which ensure that the leaflets do not prolapse, the valve leaflets are attached to two major papillary muscles in the left ventricle.
