An apparatus and method to be used in CPR to promote diastolic filling of the heart in cardiac arrest situations during external or internal cardiac compression. A rigid backboard provided with a tilting apparatus to incline the backboard to a desired degree. The backboard can be also provided with a tiltable segment for forward head flexion. The body of a patient victim of cardiac arrest is placed supine over the rigid backboard and the backboard is tilted by actuation of the tilting apparatus to a desired angle thus positioning the patient with feet up and chest down, so that the lower extremities are higher than the abdomen and tilted down toward the abdomen, and the abdomen higher than the chest and tilted down toward the chest. Likewise, being the head flexed forward in respect to the remainder of the body, the head is positioned higher than the heart, and tilted down toward the heart. As a result of such a positioning, the blood in the venous system of the lower extremities, of the abdomen and head will be draining down toward the heart by gravity improving diastolic filling and ultimately will improve cardiac output with internal or external cardiac compressions being carried out with the patient maintained in such position.

One embodiment of a device to augment the pumping function of a weakened heart. A set of connectors with elastic properties are positioned immediately proximate to the outer surface of the heart. Each of the elastic connectors is attached at one end to a circumferential band firmly attached to the exterior surface of the heart at around the level of the atrioventricular groove, an anatomical feature of the heart. At the other end, each of said elastic connectors is attached to a cap attached firmly to the heart exterior of the heart at the anatomical apex. A mechanism places the elastic connectors alternatively under tension (stretch) then shortening (relaxation). When the elastic connectors are stretched they draw the apex and circumferential band together, resulting in external compression of the heart. This movement causes the internal volume of the cardiac ventricles to be reduced, thereby encouraging expulsion of the blood contents of the ventricles to be expelled. This action will be timed so as to augment the natural cardiac contraction, and thereby improve its pumping function.
