Mechanics model generation: Starting from a patient specific MRI scan (A) a segmentation was performed (B) which was then upsampled and smoothed (C). Myocardial fibers were generated in the tissue according to Bayer et al. (2012) (D). A labeled FE geometry Ωs,total0 including the blood pool was generated (G). The geometry has been sliced to reveal the blood pool and valves and has been color coded according to the labels defined in Equation (3). Boundaries Γs,D0 used for prescribing homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions are sketched as blue curves. From this mesh the EM submesh Ωs0 (E) and the unsmoothed blood pool (F) were extracted. Boundary Γs,N0 was used to prescribe pressure boundary conditions inside the LV and Γs,bp0 is the surface of the blood pool.
