    Abstract: Accurate geometric modeling of the human heart is essential for understanding and simulating cardiac fluid dynamics. Traditional left ventricular (LV) models—typically ellipsoidal, cylindrical, or conical—are limited in their ability to represent the complex regional structure and dynamic flow conditions present in a functioning heart.
