Final Report Year 2019

Final Report Abstract

The aim of this research project was further development of personalized next generation diagnostic-prognostic tools for patients with congenital heart diseases (CHD) that are based on the innovative combination of imaging science, biofluid mechanics and computer modelling. The interdisciplinary project was carried out by clinicians (German Heart Institute of Berlin,), and biofluid mechanics engineers (Charité – Univesitätsmedizin Berlin, Biofluid Mechanics Laboratory). Both groups are currently joined in frames of a newly founded Institute for Imaging Science and Computational Modelling in Cardiovascular Medicine, Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin. During the reported project phase we successfully developed and clinically validated a reduced order 0D model predicting pressure drop caused by a coarctation of the aorta under stress conditions based solely on the acquisition of data under rest conditions. This approach could replace clinically used pharmacological or exercise stress test, which are inaccurate and not available for all patients. The second focus of the project was a development of an aortic valve virtual treatment procedure including a study aiming ti optimize the post-treatment hemodynamic outcome.
