Learning to Beat: Phenotype-Guided Latent Flow with Regional Motion Priors for Biventricular Motion Synthesis

arXiv:2608.19738v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Full-cycle biventricular geometry is essential for characterizing cardiac function. However, dense and temporally consistent 3D+t biventricular meshes are not routinely available, whereas end-diastolic (ED) anatomy can often be obtained reliably. We therefore investigate full-cycle biventricular motion synthesis from a single ED mesh. This task is challenging because cardiac deformation is spatially heterogeneous and phenotype dependent, while conventional global generative models often obscure localized motion patterns. In this study, we propose a region-specific and phenotype-adaptive framework that integrates motion-informed functional parcellation with conditional latent flow. A functional partition learned from reconstructed motion organizes the ventricular surface into regions with coherent dynamics and enables topology-aware regional feature exchange. A phenotype-conditioned rectified-flow model subsequently maps the ED anatomy to full-cycle motion latents through fine-grained conditioning and prototype-routed motion adapters. An optional control branch further incorporates available motion descriptors for controllable synthesis. Experiments on ACDC, M&Ms, and M&Ms-2 demonstrate consistent improvements in geometric accuracy and functional fidelity. Under ED-only synthesis, our method achieves biventricular ASSD, HD95, and vRMSE of (1.49pm0.34)~mm, (3.77pm1.06)~mm, and (3.31pm1.03)~mm, respectively, outperforming all competing methods. Complementary functional and robustness evaluations further demonstrate that the synthesized sequences preserve physiologically plausible ventricular dynamics and generalize across cohorts and disease phenotypes. The code will be released publicly upon acceptance of the manuscript for publication.
