Abstract
A method of determining a likelihood of an occurrence of a cardiac arrhythmia in a patient includes receiving three-dimensional imaging data of said patient's heart, constructing a whole-heart model for simulating at least one of electrophysiological activity or electromechanical activity of the patient's heart using the three-dimensional imaging data, simulating a response of the patient's heart to each of a plurality of stimulations to a corresponding plurality of different locations within the patient's heart using the whole-heart model, classifying each simulation outcome for each stimulation as one of a normal heart rhythm or a cardiac arrhythmia, calculating a likelihood index based on results of the classifying, and determining the likelihood of the occurrence of the cardiac arrhythmia in the patient based on the likelihood index. Software and data processing systems that implement the above methods are also provided.
