Mathematical model for partial ventriculectomy

This paper presents a determining mathematical model of the slice to be removed from the human heart patients with Dilated Cardiomyopathy in the surgical process called Partial Ventriculectomy or Batista surgery. The model is based on the use of techniques of integral and differential calculus for determining the left ventricle surface area of patients with and without the disease, and calculating of the occurred surface change. As a result, we obtain a simple model for determining a ventricular surface area and presenting a form to determine the ellipse -shaped slice dimensions to be removed.
