The Living Heart Model

The Living Heart Model is a physics-based model of a healthy human adult heart. The dynamic response of the Living Heart is governed by realistic electrical, structural, and fluid (blood) flow physics. With this model, medical professionals, researchers, and device manufacturers will be able to rapidly conduct virtual experiments in a highly realistic 3D environment. In the animation above, Principal Strain was analyzed, which provides engineers with an understanding of the normal movement ranges of the heart’s tissue and is used as a method to facilitate comparisons with in-vivo data.
