Abstract
Methods and devices for the stabilization of heart tissue to treat congestive heart failure using a therapeutic composition are discussed. The therapeutic composition can comprise an elastin stabilization agent, a collagen stabilization agent, or a combination thereof and be applied to the pericardium, to the outer surface of the myocardium, or a combination thereof using a catheter type of device with an attached reservoir. Controlled placement and release of the therapeutic composition can be achieved using a delivery vehicle to formulate the composition.
