This article reviews the development of patient-specific image-based models of the heart and the circulatory system. The goal of these types of models is to provide better assessment of cardiovascular function under the patient-specific pathophysiological conditions and to serve as a testbed for improved cardiovascular therapies that are tailored to the patient. These new models constitute a part of the growing trend towards the development of new computational approaches (i.e., computational medicine) that can aid treatment and prevention of human disease.
本文回顾了基于患者个体的心脏和循环系统图像模型的发展。这类模型的目标是根据患者特定的病理生理条件更好地评估心血管功能，并作为改进的心血管治疗方法的试验台，这些治疗方法是根据患者量身定制的。这些新模型构成了发展新的计算方法（即计算医学）趋势的一部分，这些方法可以帮助治疗和预防人类疾病。
