Abstract
The present application relates to systems and methods for performing a computerized cardiac simulation for at least one of diagnosis, risk assessment or treatment planning including: receiving, by a computer, a plurality of three-dimensional cardiac images of a subject's heart such that each three-dimensional cardiac image corresponds to a different phase of a single cardiac cycle of the subject's heart; modeling structure, using the computer, of the left atrium of the subject as a function of time using the plurality of three-dimensional cardiac images of the subject's heart; modeling blood flow, using the computer, within, into and out of the left atrium of the subject as a function of time using computational fluidic dynamics and using structure of said left atrium obtained from at least one of said plurality of three-dimensional cardiac images or said modeling structure of said left atrium; simulating at least one of time dependent structural function or time-dependent blood flow of said left atrium using results from said modeling structure and said modeling blood flow for a selected period of time; and providing information to a user from said simulating for use in at least …
