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is withdrawn from the device.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