Embodiments of the disclosed technology comprise an intraventricular balloon pump to help a dilated heart or ventricle push forward the stagnant stroke volume to the systemic circulation. The balloon fills simultaneously with the contraction of the ventricle. Since blood finds its way of least resistance, the easiest exit is through the aortic valve, against a closed mitral valve. The system is designed to be totally implantable, with a less invasive insertion and maintenance procedure than is known in the prior art.
