Virtual heart map may improve dangerous heart rhythm treatment
NCT ID NCT03536052
First seen Feb 05, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 12 times
Summary
This study tested a computer simulation called a "virtual heart" to help doctors find the best spots to burn (ablate) heart tissue causing dangerous fast heartbeats (ventricular tachycardia) in 10 people with heart damage from a past heart attack. The goal was to see if this approach could stop the abnormal rhythm right after the procedure and shorten the time needed for the treatment. Results focused on whether the heart rhythm could still be triggered after ablation and long-term freedom from the condition.
