Abstract
An implant system for restoring and improving physiological intracardiac vortical flow in a human heart is provided including a dual force transducting annular implant comprising laterally extending struts transitioning into annular structural members for positioning on the atrial side of the valve annulus; an anchoring system comprising a therapeutic base plate assembly attachable to the apex of the heart; and a tether assembly comprising a tether connected between the implant and the therapeutic base plate assembly.
Claims1
An implant system for restoring ventricular geometric shape and changing vortical physiological intracardiac flow (ventricular vortex) in a human heart comprising:
- a dual force transducting annular implant comprising laterally extending struts transitioning into annular structural components for positioning the implant and transducting force on the atrial side of a valve annulus;
- an anchoring system comprising one or more therapeutic base plate assemblies attachable to the heart's apex or wall;
- a tether assembly, comprising a tether or tethers or shaft, connected between the implant and the one or more therapeutic base plate assemblies;
- a conduit providing a fluidic connection;
- and
- a control unit.
