4D patient-specific computational models of left atrial blood flow and thrombosis - reaching the shore of clinical deployment?

GRAND ROUND OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of this program, attendees should be able to:

• Review 4D (3D in space, time-resolved), multi-physics models of left atrial hemodynamics and thrombosis, including myocardial electromechanics, intracavitary fluid mechanics, and the coagulation cascade.
• Present advances in computational science that reduce the cost of patient-specific models. Raise awareness that these models now take hours to run on one GPU, not weeks on a supercomputer center.
• Present practical examples of atrial thrombosis prediction by computational models guided by patient-specific 4D CT and MRI acquisitions.

ACCREDITATION FOR CARDIOVASCULAR GRAND ROUNDS

The University of Washington School of Medicine is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

The University of Washington School of Medicine designates this live activity for a maximum of 36.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.

Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. (Each session is 1.0 credit)
