The geometry and dynamics of the heart contraction and valve closure are restored by digitization of the 2d echocardiography data measured on a patient. The chordae are modeled as branched systems of viscoelastic strings with zero bending rigidity. Both linear and nonlinear rheology of the heart tissues are considered. The corresponding numerical procedure is worked out. The developed model can be used for comparative study of different existing strategy of surgical restoration for individual patients as well as for fast real time computations of optimal location of the neochordae directly during the surgery.enbiomechanicsmitral valvechordae rupturemitral insufficiencysurgery planningArticle
