Abstract

Cardiomyopathy may be treated by distributing a space-occupying diastole- assist agent within the myocardium or within the cardiac venous system in a pattern about one or more chambers of the heart, such that the space- modifying agent integrates into and thickens at least part of the cardiac wall about the chamber so as globally to reduce wall stress, stabilize or even reduce chamber size, and/or improve diastolic function. Some patterns also cause a beneficial global reshaping of the chamber. These changes occur quickly and are sustainable, and have a rapid and sustainable therapeutic effect on cardiac function. Patterns of distribution of space-occupying agent within the myocardium for global resizing may also be used or augmented to treat localized conditions such as myocardial infarctions, overt aneurysm of the ventricular wall as typically forms in response to large transmural myocardial infarctions, and mitral regurgitation due to a noncompliant mitral valve. These techniques may also be used to treat localized conditions that may not yet have progressed to cardiomyopathy.

Claims

received by the International Bureau on 13 March 2009 (13.03.2009) introducing a biocompatible occluding agent into the segments ot tne cardiac venous system in a therapeutically effective amount to establish respective therapeutically beneficial structural members therein for thickening and strengthening the myocardium of the heart in accordance with the pattern, the structural members having an elastic property.
13. Use of a biocompatible space-occupying agent having an elastic property and comprising non-living material, in the manufacture of an agent for injection into a myocardial wall of a dilated chamber of a heart of a patient for improving diastolic function of the heart, the space-occupying agent being therapeutically effective, on injection in therapeutically effective amounts into a plurality of sites disposed in a therapeutically effective pattern within the myocardial wall of the dilated chamber, for thickening the myocardial wall and for expressing the elastic property by storing potential energy during systole and releasing the potential energy as kinetic energy during diastole.
14. Use of a biocompatible space-occupying agent having an elastic property and comprising non-living material, in the manufacture of an agent for injection into a myocardial wall of a ventricle of a heart of a patient for improving diastolic function of the heart, the space-occupying agent being therapeutically effective, on injection in therapeutically effective amounts into a plurality of sites disposed in a therapeutically effective pattern within and across a major portion of the myocardial wall of the ventricle, for thickening the myocardial wall and for expressing the elastic property by storing potential energy during systole and releasing the potential energy as kinetic energy during diastole.
15. Use of a biocompatible occluding agent having an elastic property and comprising non-living material, in the manufacture of an agent for injection into a cardiac venous system of a heart of a patient for improving diastolic function of the heart, the occluding agent being therapeutically effective, on injection in a therapeutically effective amount into a segment of the cardiac venous system, for forming a structural member to thicken and strengthen a myocardial wall of the heart and to express the elastic property by storing potential energy during systole and releasing the potential energy as kinetic energy during diastole.
54
16. Use of a biocompatible occluding agent having an elastic property and comprising non-living material, in the manufacture of an agent for injection into a cardiac venous system of a heart of a patient for improving diastolic function of the heart, the occluding agent being therapeutically effective, on injection in therapeutically effective amounts into a plurality of segments of the cardiac venous system disposed in a therapeutically effective pattern across a major portion of a wall of a chamber of the heart, for forming a plurality of structural members to thicken and strengthen the chamber wall and to express the elastic property by storing potential energy during systole and releasing the potential energy as kinetic energy during diastole.
