An anchor for a medical implant, a method of manufacturing an anchor, and a delivery system and method for delivering a medical implant, such as for monitoring physiological parameters, for example, for diagnosing and/or monitoring and/or treating cardiovascular diseases, such as CHF and CHD. The anchor includes a base member, arms, legs, features for securing the medical implant to the base member, and features for connecting the anchor to a connector. The anchor has a deployed configuration in which the arms radially project from a first end of the base member and the legs radially project from an opposite end of the base member. When deployed, the arms and legs terminate at extremities that are opposing but not aligned with each other.
