Abstract
A cyclical clasp for use with the natural heart. The cyclical clasp has a plurality of members configured to be positioned adjacent the epicardial surface of the heart. The members are joined by at least one connector wherein the members are fixed in a spatial or spaced relationship relative to each other such that a portion of the heart wall is displaced inwardly during at least a portion of a cardiac cycle to reconfigure a chamber of the heart as contiguous portions of truncated ellipsoids. A cyclical force is applied to the wall of the heart chamber to reduce adverse effects of reconfiguration during diastolic filling.
