euHeart: integrated cardiac care using patient-specific cardiovascular modeling
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the cause of over 4.35 million deaths in Europe each year, including nearly half of all non-accidental deaths, and significantly reduces quality of life.1 CVD is most often a consequence of atherosclerosis, an inflammation of the arterial blood vessels, which manifests itself in diseases such as coronary artery disease (CAD), congestive heart failure (HF), and cardiac arrhythmias (irregular heart beat). Early detection and prediction of how cardiac diseases progress are key requirements for improved treatment outcomes and a reduction in mortality and morbidity.
