Dassault Systèmes has introduced the world's first realistic 3D-model of the human heart
The company Dassault Systèmes, to develop a platform 3DEXPERIENCE, introduced the world's first realistic simulation 3D model of the human heart. The project "Living Heart", which aims - to promote the treatment of diseases of the cardiovascular system, symbolizes a new era in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of heart disease through individualized virtual 3D models. project is based on a 3D model of the heart, built with the help of applications Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE platform for the simulation of real processes. Dassault Systèmes experts used the latest achievements in this field presented in applications SIMULIA, to create complex 3D models, the most realistic and clearly repeating the electrical and mechanical behavior of the heart. According to a recent study by the World Health Organization, in 2008 worldwide from cardiovascular disease died of 17.3 million people, representing approximately 30% of the entire global mortality.
Report on the results of the American Heart Association "Arguing about the future of cardiovascular disease in the United States» (Forecasting the Future of Cardiovascular Disease in the United States), within the next three decades, the direct medical costs of treating such diseases made more than 8 billion . dollars. Today, the lack of realistic 3D models of human limits the ability of scientists to predict the behavior of medical devices implanted in humans. The project "Living Heart" drew the attention of the medical community: medical researchers, practitioners, device manufacturers and industry regulators that in the future will have access to 3D mathematical models to accelerate the process of turning research innovation in products and services, dictated by the needs of the market. Personalized 3D model of the heart by using echocardiograms, MRI and CT scans, as well as the results of research in the field of heart disease, soon will allow medical professionals to better understand the behavior of the patient's heart without the use of additional invasive diagnostic procedures.
"We live in an amazing time - today We have the opportunity to simulate the response of the heart patient to a variety of interventions, eliminating this patient, as well as many others, from diagnostic procedures with an uncertain outcome - says Dr. James. C. Perry, a professor of pediatrics at UC San Diego and The Director of Electrophysiology and congenital heart disease in the hospital Rady Children's. - This applies to patients with congenital heart disease, which throughout life must constantly endure many medical procedures. At the same time it applies to a lot of people with heart failure, arrhythmia and other structural anomalies. This technology is a huge achievement to accelerate the translation of our basic scientific understanding of cardiac function into practice, and to apply this knowledge to improve the health and safety of medicine.
