1. A method of increasing mitral valve leaflet coaptive area during systole, comprising the steps of:

  • advancing a catheter into a left ventricle;

    securing with the catheter at least a first ventricular tension element to a wall of the ventricle;

    securing with the catheter at least a first leaflet tension element to a mitral valve leaflet;

    proximally retracting the leaflet tension element to move the limit of travel of the leaflet during systole in a direction of the atrium, thereby increasing mitral valve leaflet coaptive area during systole; and

    securing the leaflet tension element to the ventricular tension element.
