SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PATIENT-SPECIFIC MODELING OF THE HEART FOR PREDICTION OF TARGETS FOR CATHETER ABLATION OF VENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA IN PATIENTS WITH IMPLANTABLE CARDIOVERTER DEFIBRILLATORS
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PATIENT-SPECIFIC MODELING OF THE HEART FOR PREDICTION OF TARGETS FOR CATHETER ABLATION OF VENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA IN PATIENTS WITH IMPLANTABLE CARDIOVERTER DEFIBRILLATORS
A system, computer-readable medium and method can include receiving three-dimensional imaging data of a subject's heart, the subject having an ICD, wherein the ICD causes an imaging artifact in the three-dimensional imaging data that includes regions that are free of the artifact and regions that are affected by the artifact; segmenting the regions that are free of the artifact into a plurality of normal tissue regions and remodeled tissue regions for the subject; extrapolating from the regions that are free of the artifact to provide extrapolated three-dimensional imaging data corresponding to the regions that are affected by the artifact; and simulating at least one of electrophysiological or electromechanical activity of the subject's heart using the segmented and extrapolated three-dimensional imaging data, the simulating including providing a preselected alteration of electrophysiological or electromechanical behavior of the subject's heart for a target of said subject-specific cardiac ablation procedure.
