An automated near-real time computational method for induction and treatment of scar-related ventricular tachycardias.

ABSTRACT: Catheter ablation is currently the only curative treatment for scar-related ventricular tachycardias (VTs). However, not only are ablation procedures long, with relatively high risk, but success rates are punitively low, with frequent VT recurrence. Personalized in-silico approaches have the opportunity to address these limitations. However, state-of-the-art reaction diffusion (R-D) simulations of VT induction and subsequent circuits used for in-silico ablation target identification require long execution times, along with vast computational resources, which are incompatible with the clinical workflow. Here, we present the Virtual Induction and Treatment of Arrhythmias (VITA), a novel, rapid and fully automated computational approach that uses reaction-Eikonal methodology to induce VT and
