First seen Feb 05, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 15 times
Summary
This study tested a new computer simulation, called a 'virtual heart,' to help doctors find the best spots to ablate (burn) heart tissue causing dangerous rapid heartbeats (ventricular tachycardia) in people with prior heart attacks. Ten patients with implanted defibrillators were enrolled. The approach aimed to make the arrhythmia non-inducible and shorten procedure time. Results may improve precision of ablation, but the condition requires ongoing management.
