A novel methodology for personalized simulations of ventricular hemodynamics from noninvasive imaging data

Cardiac pathologies often show a high interindividual variability in both the anatomy and the response to treatment, making population-based metrics less effective in defining therapy. A patient-specific approach is therefore crucial for successfully evaluating the pump function in the diseased heart and customizing treatment to the patient’s pathophysiology. Recent developments in clinical imaging have underpinned the value of personalized medicine as a powerful alternative to traditional healthcare.
