Abstract

This work contributes to the systemic interpretation of clinical data for the analysis of the regional cardiac function in the context of heart failure. A two-step patient-specific approach, combining a realistic geometry and a hybrid, tissue-level electromechanical model of the left ventricle is proposed. For the first step, a fast framework to extract a realistic geometry of the left ventricle from MSCT data is proposed. This geometry is then applied to a tissue-level model of the left ventricle, coupling a discrete electrical model, a mechanical model integrating a visco-elastic law, solved by a finite element method and a hydraulic model. A set of simulations carried out with the model are shown and preliminary results of the parameter identification approach, based on real patient data, are presented and discussed.
