Caption

The clip shows a digital twin of of a heart belonging to a patient with ventricular tachycardia. We see the team stimulate the heart with an electrical wave trying to pinpoint the location of an arrythmia. The current would pass through a normal heart, but here it gets caught in a damaged area, depicted in yellow.
