NCT ID NCT03536052

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested a new computer simulation, called a 'virtual heart,' to help doctors find the best spots to burn heart tissue (ablation) in patients with ventricular tachycardia (VT) caused by prior heart attacks. Ten adults with VT and scarred heart muscle were enrolled. The approach aimed to make VT non-inducible after the procedure and reduce procedure time.
