Computational modelling in congenital heart disease: Challenges and opportunities
In the last 70 years, the natural history of patients born with congenital heart disease (CHD) has been dramatically modified by the introduction and evolution of surgical repair, and more recently, percutaneous intervention. Nowadays many imaging modalities, including echocardiography, computed tomography and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) assist the surgeon to plan operations. In parallel, the integration of these imaging modalities with computational sciences has led to the development of patient-specific computational modelling, which is driving a paradigm shift towards predictive personalized medic ine.
