Systems and methods for reducing distention in designated portions of a heart muscle while assisting cardiac valve alignment and coaptation. Anchoring devices are secured to the heart muscle and a bio-compatible cardiac assist device placed over portions of the heart muscle is separately secured to the anchoring devices. The cardiac assist device may be a material that wraps portions of the heart muscle, or may be straps that wrap portions of the heart muscle. Tightening and securing the cardiac assist device in place helps to reduce distention in chambers of the heart muscle and aids alignment and coaptation of cardiac valves.
