Abstract: A method and system for simulating cardiac function of a patient. A patient-specific anatomical model of at least a portion of the patient's heart is generated from medical image data. Cardiac electrophysiology potentials are calculated over a computational domain defined by the patient-specific anatomical model for each of a plurality of time steps using a patient-specific cardiac electrophysiology model. The electrophysiology potentials acting on a plurality of nodes of the computational domain are calculated in parallel for each time step. Biomechanical forces are calculated over the computational domain for each of the plurality of time steps using a cardiac biomechanical model coupled to the cardiac electrophysiology model. The biomechanical forces acting on a plurality of nodes of the computational domain are estimated in parallel for each time step. Blood flow and cardiac movement are computed at each of the plurality of time steps based on the calculated biomechanical forces.
