Heart reshaping system

An anchoring system comprising:

• a cord;
• a first heart anchor including:
• a ring having a ring-shaped configuration and a straightened configuration, the ring in the straightened configuration being configured to be positioned inside a lumen of a catheter, the ring in the ring-shaped configuration having a center, and the ring being biased towards the ring-shaped configuration, and
• a cover having a collapsed configuration and a disc-shaped configuration and a central portion engaged with the cord, and a peripheral portion at which the ring is positioned,
• the cover in the collapsed configuration being folded against the ring, and
• the central portion being engaged with the cord such that pulling the cord moves the central portion of the cover from the collapsed configuration inward to the center of the ring in the ring-shaped configuration, and engaged with the cord such that pulling the cord tightens the cover from the disc-shaped configuration into a cone-like configuration;
• and
• a second heart anchor configured to engage the cord to thereby couple to the first heart anchor.

A method for treatment of a heart, the method comprising:

• fixating a splint to the heart so as to alter a geometric shape of the heart, the splint including an anchor including:
• a ring having a ring-shaped configuration and a straightened configuration, the ring in the straightened configuration being configured to be positioned inside a lumen of a catheter, the ring in the ring-shaped configuration having a center, and the ring being biased towards the ring-shaped configuration,
• a cord, and
• a cover having a collapsed configuration and a disc-shaped configuration and a central portion engaged with the cord and a peripheral portion at which the ring is positioned,
• the cover in the collapsed configuration being folded against the ring, and
• the central portion being engaged with the cord such that pulling the cord moves the central portion of the cover from the collapsed configuration inward to the center of the ring in the ring-shaped configuration, and engaged with the cord such that pulling the cord tightens the cover from the disc-shaped configuration into a cone-like configuration.
