Force transducting implant system for the mitigation of atrioventricular pressure gradient loss and the restoration of healthy ventricular geometry

Abstract

An implant system for restoring and improving physiological intracardiac flow in a human heart is provided including a force transducting, structurally stabilizing, and functionally assisting ventricular inflatable cardiac implant within a human heart for restoring and improving physiologic intracardiac flow, restoring the ventricular vortex, preventing atrioventricular pressure gradient loss, mitigating valvular regurgitation, and utilizing native energy and force, via force transduction, to restore geometric elliptical proportion and function to the atria, the ventricles and ventricular walls, and the valvular apparatus itself.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An implant system for restoring and changing physiological intracardiac flow, mitigating atrioventricular pressure gradient loss and valvular regurgitation, and utilizing the native pressure gradient as a reconstructive therapeutic force in a human heart comprising:
 a dual-force pressure mitigating implant comprising:
 a ‘one way valve’ or ‘check valve’ mounted within a ring structure that allows atrial blood to pass through it into the ventricle but prevents ventricular blood from returning into the atrium; and 
 a pressure mitigating assembly having a mechanical dual force structural housing having a proximal annular expanding ring structure, a distal suspension ring, and ‘gradient funneling skirt’, the proximal annular expanding ring structure supporting the valve skirt that seals to the distal suspension ring, the distal suspension ring supporting the ‘one way’ or ‘check valve’; 
   an anchoring system comprising one or more therapeutic base plate assemblies attachable to the heart's apex or wall or structures;   a universal tether assembly, comprising a tether or tethers or shaft, connected between the pressure mitigating assembly and the anchoring system, wherein the pressure mitigating assembly remaining tethered to the apex of the heart via the shaft and via the apical base plate;   a conduit providing a fluidic connection; and   a control unit with multiple sealed chambers to control the volume in the fluidic lumens and bladders and to house sensor components.
