Something called varicose veins will occur when the vein valves do not close. It doesn't happen all at once, but usually in various places in the lower legs. If it would happen in all the veins, then the return flow to the heart would be lower. A person would have to wear compression garments on legs and arms. The veins lower in the body are compressed by the muscles so there would not be a problem with them.

Why are the chordae tendineae required for the proper functioning of the AV valves?

The chordate tendineae prevent the valves from inverting. Meaning that they will only allow the valves to close and then stop. Something like a door stop.
