1. A ventricular chamber volume reduction system, wherein the ventricular chamber has an apex and a wall, comprising:

  • a frame comprising an anchor radially extending from the frame;

    a containment device deliverable through an intravascular catheter into a ventricular chamber and expandable from a collapsed shape to a filled shape once delivered into the ventricular chamber; and

    a filler within the containment device, wherein the filler expands the containment device from the collapsed shape to the filled shape; and

    wherein the containment device is configured to fit to the contour of the ventricular chamber wall extending from the apex of the ventricular chamber to the surface of the containment device farthest away from the apex, and wherein the containment device is configured to substantially fill the volume between the surface of the containment device farthest away from the apex and the apex.
