Cardiac assist apparatus |
| abstract |
An apparatus and method for augmenting cardiac function. Dimension characteristics of the heart are modified cyclically by engaging a linkage between at least two points on the myocardium (51) of the heart and cyclically varying the length of the linkage. This controls the spacing between the engaged parts of the myocardium (51), thereby improving cardiac function. The linkage may extend across the left ventricular cavity (1) or between points spaced apart around the left ventricular cavity (1). |
