Abstract
An implant comprising one or more resilient force-applying elements for exerting a longitudinal force to (1) an atrioventricular fibrous structure and (2) tissue at an apical region of the heart, in order to augment longitudinal motion of an atrioventricular plane of an atrioventricular valve of the heart, is implanted by positioning a caudal end portion of the implant at the tissue at the apical region, and positioning an opposite end portion of the implant that is opposite the caudal end portion, at the atrioventricular fibrous structure. During ventricular systole, the resilient force-applying element stores energy by compressing, and during ventricular diastole, the resilient force-applying element self-expands longitudinally, to longitudinally push against (1) the atrioventricular fibrous structure and (2) the tissue at the apical region in order to augment the longitudinal motion of the atrioventricular plane of the atrioventricular valve. Other embodiments are also described.
