摘要：
A method for reducing left ventricular volume, which comprises identifying infarcted tissue during open chest surgery； reducing left ventricle volume while preserving the ventricular apex； and realigning the ventricular apex, such that the realigning step comprises closing the lower or apical portion of said ventricle to achieve appropriate functional contractile geometry of said ventricle in a dyskinetic ventricle of a heart.
