Method of treating cardiomyopathy

The surgical implantation of a link, which may be in the form of a tether or a looped band, is proposed to connect and reduce the spacing between facing walls of the left ventricle, to reduce dilation of the left ventricle. Decreasing the distance between the facing portions of the ventricle may also more appropriately align the chordal apparatus to decrease mitral regurgitation. The implanted link thus improves heart function by reducing left ventricular failure.
