MODELLING THE HEART OF A SUBJECT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18580698 titled 'MODELLING THE HEART OF A SUBJECT

Simplified Explanation:

This patent application describes a mechanism for generating information to identify the risk of arrhythmia by constructing multiple heart models from medical imaging data. These models undergo simulations to analyze the heart's response to electrical stimulation at different locations.

  • Heart models are created from medical imaging data of a subject's heart.
  • Each heart model has different values for modifiable properties that influence simulation results.
  • Simulations are conducted to analyze the heart's response to electrical stimulation at various pacing locations.
  • Output data contains indicators of all simulation results.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Utilizes medical imaging data to construct heart models.
  • Analyzes the heart's response to electrical stimulation at different locations.
  • Provides indicators of simulation results to identify arrhythmia risk.

Potential Applications:

  • Cardiac risk assessment in patients.
  • Personalized treatment planning for arrhythmia.
  • Research on heart function and response to stimulation.

Problems Solved:

  • Lack of personalized risk assessment for arrhythmia.
  • Limited understanding of the heart's response to electrical stimulation.
  • Inefficient methods for analyzing arrhythmia risk.

Benefits:

  • Improved accuracy in identifying arrhythmia risk.
  • Personalized treatment strategies for patients.
  • Enhanced understanding of heart function and response to stimulation.

Commercial Applications:

Arrhythmia risk assessment software for healthcare providers. Personalized medicine solutions for cardiac patients. Research tools for studying heart function and arrhythmia mechanisms.

Questions about Arrhythmia Risk Assessment:

1. How does this technology improve upon traditional methods of assessing arrhythmia risk? 2. What are the potential implications of using personalized heart models for treatment planning in arrhythmia patients?


Original Abstract Submitted

A mechanism for generating information usable for identifying a risk of arrhythmia. A plurality of heart models are constructed from medical imaging data of a subject's heart. each heart model being defined by a set of different values for one or more modifiable properties. The modifiable properties are those used in the generation of the heart model or in the definition of the heart model, and influence or affect simulation results using the heart model. Each heart model undergoes a plurality of simulations, each simulation being a simulation of a response of the heart model to a (simulated) stimulation of electricity at a different pacing location of the heart. Output data is generated containing indicators of all simulation results.
