A personalized computational model of edema formation in myocarditis based on long-axis biventricular MRI images

Abstract Background Myocarditis is defined as the inflammation of the myocardium, i.e. the cardiac muscle. Among the reasons that lead to this disease, we may include infections caused by a virus, bacteria, protozoa, fungus, and others. One of the signs of the inflammation is the formation of edema,...
