One embodiment discloses a computerized method of facilitating cardiac
intervention, comprising inputting patient data, creating a computerized
interactive model of a heart based on the patient data, wherein the model
comprises features, simulating at least one proposed cardiac intervention
treatment by adding or deleting features to the model, and determining
the effects of the proposed cardiac simulation upon the entire model.
Simulations may be repeated to allow the user to determine an optimal
cardiac intervention. Additionally, a template may be created from the
model to use as a guide during the cardiac intervention.
