3D Myocardial Modelling by Computational Geometry Techniques. Analysing Performance

The first cause of death in Spain is cardiovascular diseases, with a death rate of 30.3% according to the latest mortality data published by INE (Spanish National Statistics Institute). In this scenario, it is necessary to develop powerful computer tools capable of predicting, among others, mechanisms of performance of heart muscles with certain pathologies. The present work proposes a 3D myocardial geometry reconstruction procedure that employs computational geometry techniques to later simulate mechanical myocardial performance under normal ventricular load and stenosis conditions. The variability in the obtained responses allows the disease to be characterised by defining a new approach, used to diagnose this pathology by solid biological structure modelling.
