The computer program is very clever and relies on a lot of maths and physics ( some of which i dont completely understand!). I take images of real peoples hearts and create 3D models. I then have a ‘virtual’ heart that is exactly the same as the real persons actual heart. I can then do tests on this heart, dfor example look at the blood flow in it, predict what would happen with certain treatments. This helps me to decide how best to treat the actual patient. Of course, in the real patients a lot of treatments cant be undone so it is fantastic to know how the patients will react before we give it!
