A biomaterial for treating or preventing congestive heart failure is injected into the intrapericardial space of a patient's heart to apply a mild compressive force on the heart. A volume of biomaterial is placed in the intrapericardial space by an injection needle or catheter, adjacent at least the left ventricle, so that the biomaterial applies a compressive force on the myocardium to relieve cardiac wall tension during at least a portion of the cardiac cycle.

L'invention concerne un biomatériau destiné à traiter ou à prévenir une insuffisance cardiaque globale, injecté dans la cavité intra-péricardique du coeur d'un patient pour appliquer une légère force de compression sur le coeur. Une quantité de biomatériau est placée dans la cavité intra-péricardique par une aiguille d'injection ou un cathéter, de manière adjacente au moins au ventricule gauche, de façon que le biomatériau applique une force de compression sur le myocarde pour soulager la tension de la paroi cardiaque au cours d'au moins une partie du cycle cardiaque.
