3D Modeling to Help Treat Cardiovascular Disease

Mission in a Minute: Julius Guccione, PhD http://profiles.ucsf.edu/julius.guccione http://adultct.surgery.ucsf.edu I am a bioengineer at UCSF, and my mission is to help doctors use realistic simulation to improve the ways they diagnose and treat cardiovascular disease. What if doctors could rely on the same incredible 3D modeling and realistic simulation technology that the automotive and aerospace industries have used for decades to virtually design and test products for optimal performance, quality and safety? My niche at UCSF is the development and validation of 3D models of beating human hearts. My students have used such models to realistically simulate the effects of a number of novel surgical procedures and devices on heart function and wall stress, something that cannot be measured. Last October in the international journal of cardiology we published a study of a novel device that reduced wall stress in failing human hearts by 35 percent. My goal is to use realistic simulation to optimize cardiovascular device design for individual patients.
