CA 2460307

A method and apparatus for treating heart failure is configured to be placed about at least a portion of a patient's heart to apply a mild compressive force on the heart over a range of elastic deformation of the apparatus. The apparatus can be shifted to second range of deformation. In some embodiments, the apparatus is shifted to the second range of deformation by application of a stimulus or alteration of environmental conditions beyond a threshold level.

L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil de traitement de l'insuffisance cardiaque. L'appareil est configuré pour se placer autour d'au moins une partie du coeur du patient pour exercer une légère force de compression sur le coeur, dans un champ de déformation élastique de l'appareil. L'appareil peut être déplacé dans un second champ de déformation. Dans certains modes de réalisation, l'appareil est déplacé dans le second champ de déformation par application d'un stimulus ou modification des conditions du milieu, au-delà d'un niveau seuil.
