A method and a device (10) for improving cardiac function are provided. The device (10) is packaged in a collapsed state in an end of a catheter. Portions of a frame construction (12) of the device (10) spring outwardly when the catheter is withdrawn from the device (10). Anchoring formations (14) on the frame construction (12) secure the frame construction (12) to a myocardium of the heart. A membrane (16) secured to the frame construction (12) then forms a division between volumes of an endocardial cavity of the heart on opposing sides of the membrane (16).

La présente invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif (10) destinés à améliorer la fonction cardiaque. Le dispositif de l'invention (10) est emballé à l'état affaissé dans une extrémité de cathéter. Des parties d'une construction armature (12) du dispositif (10) jaillissent vers l'extérieur lorsque l'on retire le cathéter du dispositif (10). Des formations d'ancrage (14) sur la construction armature (12) permettent de fixer la construction armature (12) sur le myocarde d'un coeur. Une membrane (16) fixée sur la construction armature (12) forme alors une division entre des volumes d'une cavité endocardique du coeur situés des côtés opposés de la membrane (16).
