Expandable cardiac harness for treating congestive heart failure

Abstract

(57) The heart harness for treating summary congestive heart failure is indicated. This harness decreases strain of a harmful wall and gives elastic compression strengthening for resisting change of the form of the ventricle in a mechanical heart cycle to the left ventricle. This harness covers the range of expansion phase expansion of the ventricle, and does not offer strong restriction rather than gives a certain size which the heart cannot extend any more. Rather, this harness follows the outline of the heart through expansion phase, and demonstrates the continuous gradual resistance to extension. Moreover, the method of sending out this heart harness to the heart by a method invasive to minimum is also indicated.
