A device for extra-cardiac actuation for the support of a failing heart is provided that utilizes the inertial component of a driving fluid to provide separately adjustable quantities of supportive energy to the left and right ventricles. By partitioning the inertial and baric forms of energy delivered to a single chamber, heart encircling assist device, and by localizing the heart to minimize lateral and axial displacement a device and method for achieving balanced left-right flow is disclosed that restores the Frank-Starling mechanism to a failing heart and assists recovery by enabling the heart to achieve physiologic cardiovascular equilibrium.
