Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed for to determining a blood supply and blood demand. One method includes receiving a patient-specific model of vessel geometry of at least a portion of a coronary artery, wherein the model is based on patient-specific image data of at least a portion of a patient's heart having myocardium; determining a coronary blood supply based on the patient-specific model; determining at least a portion of the myocardium corresponding to the coronary artery; determining a myocardial blood demand based on either a mass or a volume of the portion of the myocardium, or based on perfusion imaging of the portion of the myocardium; and determining a relationship between the coronary blood supply and the myocardial blood demand.
