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.

Abstract: An implant system for restoring and improving physiological intracardiac flow in a human heart is provided including a force transducting, structurally stabilizing, and functionally assisting ventricular inflatable cardiac implant within a human heart for restoring and improving physiologic intracardiac flow, restoring the ventricular vortex, preventing atrioventricular pressure gradient loss, mitigating valvular regurgitation, and utilizing native energy and force, via force transduction, to restore geometric elliptical proportion and function to the atria, the ventricles and ventricular walls, and the valvular apparatus itself.

Abstract: An implant system for capturing a regurgitant jet to effect preserving the atrioventricular pressure gradient and ventricular remodeling in a human heart including an expandable implant for positioning in the atrial/ventricular valve of the human heart and at least partially within the atrium and/or the ventricle, the expandable implant defining a first position for at least partially capturing the atrioventricular pressure gradient and regurgitant trans-valvular blood flow and associated driving forces during systole and a second position for steering flow from the atrium to the ventricle to enhance vorticular flow during diastole; a therapeutic apical base plate attachable to the apex of the heart; and a tethering conduit connected between the expandable implant and the therapeutic apical base plate assembly that transducts the energy and/or forces of captured regurgitant trans-valvular blood flow or atrioventricular pressure to the structures of the ventricle and the ventricular wall.

Abstract: An implant system for restoring and improving physiological intracardiac flow in a human heart is provided including an expandable balloon defining a fluid reservoir for positioning in a chamber of the human heart; a therapeutic apical base plate assembly attachable to the apex of the heart; and a tether assembly connected between the implant and the therapeutic apical base plate assembly.

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.
