Challenges in LV Modelling Multi-scale : Computer simulation offers unique opportunities for integrating multi-sets data, providing insights, even predicting outcomes, etc. Multi-physics: Patient specific: 2 out of 19 Immersed boundary method:
Image Derived LV Model Healthy LV (at early of diastole) (1) Short-axis cine images (2) Left ventricular outflow tracts MV AV LV Manual Segmentation Solid Reconstruction 3 out of 19
Image Derived LV Model AV MV Remarks 1: No valves (with positions indicated); 2: Regions above MV and AV are artificially constructed for outflow and inflow BCs; 3: circular inflow and outflow shapes (easy for applying BC) Basal plane apex inflow outflow Artificial extension Image derived 4 out of 19
