1. A system configured to design cardiac instruments, comprising:
- a CPU; and
a system memory coupled to the CPU, wherein the system memory stores one or more computer programs executable by the CPU;
wherein one or more computer programs are executable to;
create a pattern of at least a portion of at least one patient-specific cardiac instrument or implant using at least one first image of heart tissue from a human heart;
evaluate motion of at least one portion of at least one feature of one or more first images of heart tissue; and
assess asynergy of the heart tissue.

Abstract
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.
