Abstract
A system for treating cardiac dysfunction can include an expandable device for insertion into a heart, a foot configured to contact a portion of the heart, a support frame, and a membrane coupled to the support frame. The support frame can include a plurality of radially expandable struts each having a first free end configured to extend beyond the foot and a second end coupled to the foot. The plurality of radially expandable struts can include a plurality of staggered stops, and each of the stops can be positioned on a respective one of the struts proximal to the first free end of the respective one of the struts. Method for treating cardiac dysfunction can include implanting the systems described herein into a chamber of the heart.
