A cardiac harness is configured to fit at least a portion of a patient's heart and at least a portion of the cardiac harness includes a radiopaque coating. The radiopaque coating is formed from a polymer loaded with a radiopaque material such as barium sulfate. The radiopaque material also includes a radiopaque band or a radiopaque coating formed by sputter coating or the like. The radiopaque material is visible under fluoroscopy, MRI, or echocardiography. |
