Abstract
An implant system for improving physiological cardiac flow in a human heart is provided including an inflatable implant for positioning at least partially within an atrium, a ventricle and a atrial/ventricular valve of the human heart and defining a surface for intercepting and redirecting hemodynamic flow into the ventricle, the inflatable implant defining a surface to engage the valve; a therapeutic apical base plate assembly attachable to the apex of the heart; and a tether connected between the inflatable implant and the therapeutic apical base plate assembly. The inflatable implant and the therapeutic apical base plate assembly are configured to reshape the ventricular wall by transducting cardiac force and/or energy generated by the heart during systole and diastole when the inflatable implant is engaged with the valve and of the therapeutic apical base plate assembly is attached to the apex.
