Enables refined cardiac EP simulations; leaves open human validation before any clinical use.
The novel Constructive Optimization method successfully generates patient-specific Purkinje networks that accurately reproduce geometrical features and local activation times, providing a valuable tool for cardiac electrophysiology simulations.
Berg et al. (2023) studied Cardiac electrophysiology. Constructive Optimization (CO) method vs. Reference Purkinje networks was evaluated on Root mean square error (RMSE) of local activation times (LAT). The novel Constructive Optimization method generated patient-specific Purkinje networks that accurately reproduced local activation times with an RMSE below 2 ms for the patient-specific mesh.
