Abstract
Apparatus includes a flexible intraventricular receptacle that assumes a first volume upon passage of fluid that is not blood into the receptacle and a second, smaller volume upon passage of the fluid out of the receptacle. An expandable extracardiac receptacle expands upon transfer of the fluid into the extracardiac receptacle from the intraventricular receptacle and contracts upon passage of the fluid out of the extracardiac receptacle. A transmyocardial conduit allows passage of the fluid between the intraventricular receptacle and the extracardiac receptacle responsively to a cardiac cycle. During ventricular systole, a volume of fluid is expelled from the intraventricular receptacle, through the conduit, and into the extracardiac receptacle, producing a corresponding decrease in a total volume of the ventricle during isovolumetric contraction of the ventricle. Other embodiments are also described.
