摘要：
An apparatus and method for relieving stress on a heart muscle tissue in a wall (16) of a heart (10) having a chamber (14). A plurality of biocompatible and implantable elongate strips (24, 42-54) are configured to be connected to the heart wall (16) and disposed about the chamber (14) such that the elongate strips (24, 42-54) are arranged in spaced relation to one another. The elongate strips (24, 42-54) are bendable and are sufficiently resistant to elongation such that natural stretching of the heart wall (16) does not cause elongation of the plurality of strips (24, 42-54).
