Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a system comprising a processor, at least one imaging data set related to a patient and at least one physiological data set related to the patient;
executing, by the system, a two dimensional model of circulation in a large spatial region of the patient's body based on the at least one imaging data set related to the patient and the at least one physiological data set related to the patient for at least two different left ventricular assist device (LVAD) operating modes;
outputting, by the system, from the two dimensional model a physiological response of at least one component of the large spatial region of the patient's body in response to the at least two different LVAD operating modes;
executing, by the system, a three dimensional model of the at least one component of the large spatial region of the patient's body and at least a component of an LVAD within the at least one component of the large spatial region based on the physiological response of the at least one component of the large spatial region, the at least one imaging data set related to the patient, and the at least one physiological data set related to the patient using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and varied pulsatile flow conditions corresponding to the at least two different LVAD operating modes;
providing, by the system, one or more outputs related to flow patterns through the LVAD device and the at least one component of the large spatial region based on the CFD of executed three dimensional models with the at least one of varied pulsatile flow conditions of the at least one component, the at least two LVAD operating modes, and varied LVAD parameters;
determining, by the system, an ideal parameter related to the LVAD based on comparisons of the one or more outputs of the three dimensional model; and
outputting to an output device, by the system, the ideal parameter and an optimal LVAD position and/or an optimal LVAD setting for optimal circulatory functioning of the patient based on the ideal parameter.
