Key result
Clinically-derived 3D computer models offer unique advantages for planning and assessing RFCA strategies in AF.
Why the study?
Current catheter ablation strategies for atrial fibrillation vary and lack optimal patient personalization due to irreversible empirical ablation configurations during procedures.

May support personalized AF ablation planning; leaves open prospective human validation before practice change.
Clinically-derived 3D computer models offer a promising in silico approach to personalize and optimize catheter ablation strategies for atrial fibrillation, though further validation with human data is needed.
Zhao et al. (2015) conducted a review in Atrial fibrillation. Clinically-derived computer models was evaluated. Clinically-derived 3D computer models provide unique advantages to plan and assess the effectiveness of different radiofrequency catheter ablation strategies for atrial fibrillation.
