Abstract

Novel tools and techniques are provided for presenting patient information to a user. In some embodiments, a computer system may: receive device data associated with one or more devices configured to perform a cardiac shunting procedure to change a cardiac blood flow pattern to improve cardiac blood flow efficiency or cardiac pumping efficiency; receive one or more imaging data associated with one or more imaging devices configured to generate images of one or more internal portions of the patient; analyze the device data and the imaging data; map the device data and the imaging data to a multi-dimensional representation of the one or more internal portions of the patient; generate one or more image-based outputs based at least in part on the mapping; and present, using a user experience (“UX”) device, the generated one or more image-based outputs.
