1. A method of improving cardiac function, the method comprising:
delivering a band to a ventricle of a heart via at least one catheter;
guiding the band through the heart to form a loop;
pulling walls of the ventricle of the heart inwards by tightening the band following formation of the loop;
following tightening, locking the band in the loop; and
removing the at least one catheter from the heart.
