Embodiment Construction
[0041] The various aspects of the invention to be discussed herein generally pertain to devices and methods for treating heart conditions, including, for example, dilatation and other similar heart failure conditions. The device of the present invention preferably operates passively in that, once placed in the heart, it does not require an active stimulus, either mechanical, electrical, or otherwise, to function. Implanting one or more of these devices alters the shape or geometry of the heart, both locally and globally, and thereby increases the heart's efficiency. That is, the heart experiences an increased pumping efficiency through an alteration in its shape or geometry and concomitant reduction in stress on the heart walls.
[0042] Although the implanted device for treating the heart preferably is a passive device, it is contemplated that the inventive tools and instruments used for implanting the device and the method of using these tools and instruments can be used to implant ...
