This is pretty cool, and looks pretty realistic, too (I did my PhD in the domain). The problem with simulations like these is that they often look cool but fail to accurately reproduce the actual motion of the heart. Now if this simulator can be tuned to reproduce the heart of individual patients, it would be a great tool for studying the impact of various interventions and deciding on the best course of action.
Thats really amazing! I wonder how close we are to directly simulating individual sarcomeres, and if that kind of resolution would be helpful. This seems detailed enough though. I'll have to show my boss and one of the surgeons, see what they think about it.
