N2 - The collagen structure/function relations in load-bearing cardiac structures were discussed. A dynamic hydrothermal isometric tension (DHIT) apparatus was used to examine collagen in various cardiac tissues such as bovine left-side and right-side chordae tendineae (CT), aortic valve and mitral valve leaflets. The right-side (R-CT) and left-side (L-CT) chordae were exercised from the right or left ventricular cavities with a mean length of 20 nm and a mean original unloaded diameter of 1.05 mm. It was observed that the location and function of cardiac, collageneous tissues were the main parameters that decide the structural features of the tissues.
