1. A delivery system for delivering a ventricular partitioning device into a patient'"'"'s ventricle and deploying the partitioning device to reduce the effective volume of the ventricle by expanding the partitioning device from a collapsed delivery configuration into an expanded deployed configuration, the system comprising:

  • an elongate guide catheter having a proximal end and a distal end;

    an expansion member near the distal end of the guide catheter and configured to expand a plurality of struts of the partitioning device by applying pressure to the collapsed partitioning device to open the partitioning device and secure it in the ventricle; and

    a coupling element distal to the expansion member and configured to deployably secure to a hub of the partitioning device to retain the expansion member at least partially surrounded by the collapsed partitioning device prior to deployment.
