1. A device for simulating a perfusion of a myocardial muscle comprising:

  • a first simulation unit to simulate a blood flow through coronary blood vessels on the basis of segmented coronary blood vessels from a static coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) image, and to determine the blood flow into different regions of the myocardial muscle into which different branches of the coronary blood vessels lead; and

    a second simulation unit to simulate a local perfusion of the myocardial muscle for the different regions on the basis of the determined blood flow into the different regions of the myocardial muscle.
