Apparatuses and method of using them, for restoring and reshaping the mitral valve annulus and reduce or restore the lengthwise geometry of the heart. These apparatuses may include two or more support chords each having an anchor at the distal end for connecting to a valve annulus, and an elongate length. The support chords may be held within a thin delivery cannula. Also include a bendable/conformable apical cradles to which the proximal end of the chords may be attached. The attachment to the cradle or sling member may be adjustable, so that the length of the chords may be adjusted from outside of the heart later. Attaching the support chords to the valve annuls and anchoring on either side of the apex region of the heart may reshape both the mitral valve and the ventricle length.
