| papillary muscle | <anatomy> Small muscles within the heart which anchor the heart valves. (12 Dec 1998) |
| papillary muscle dysfunction | Impaired function of a papillary muscle, usually due to ischemia or infarction, with resulting incompetence of the mitral valve. Synonym: papillary muscle syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |

| kidney papillary necrosis | A form of acute kidney disease characterised by necrosis of the renal papillae. It is most frequently associated with diabetes mellitus because of the severe vascular disease present in the arteries and capillaries, particularly in the kidney. There is usually a large component of infection present, and in non-diabetics pyelonephritis and obstructive uropathy are the usual aetiologic agents. (12 Dec 1998) |
