Article Abstract
Introduction: Advanced cardiac imaging is an important component in pre-procedural planning for ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablations. inHEART's proprietary software, inHEART Models, and its academic version, Multimodality Platform for Specific Imaging in Cardiology (MUSIC), provide detailed characterization of anatomical structures and scars.
Areas Covered: This review highlights the current overview of the market and offers insight into inHEART Models and MUSIC and its application during VT ablations with supporting case examples. An overview of the clinical profile and regulatory status of inHEART Models, and other competing technologies, such as Automatic Detection of Arrhythmia Substrate (ADAS) 3D software and Catheter Precision's View into Ventricular Onset (VIVO), are also discussed.
Expert Opinion: inHEART and MUSIC utilization has increased over the last few years and continues to establish its presence as an important aspect of VT ablations. Its unique proprietary software sets itself apart from others in the field. The introduction of dual source-photon counting detector computed tomography (PCD-CT) is expected to make significant advancements in the field and take imaging to a new level. inHEART's continued research in cardiac imaging and digital technology is expected to increase as is its global presence in the electrophysiology (EP) community.

Importance: Historical restrictions on children with inherited cardiac arrhythmia or cardiomyopathy have been implemented to mitigate the potential risk of sudden death, but these limitations can be detrimental to overall health and cardiopulmonary fitness.
Objectives: To evaluate cardiopulmonary fitness and physical activity among children with inherited cardiac disease and identify the factors associated with maximum oxygen uptake (V̇o2max) in this population.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This cross-sectional, multicenter, prospective controlled study was conducted in 7 tertiary care expert centers for inherited cardiac disease in France from February 1, 2021, to June 20, 2023, with a 2-week follow-up.

Introduction: Scar substrate in nonischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) patients is often difficult to identify. Advances in cardiac imaging, especially using late iodine-enhanced computed tomography (LIE-CT), allow better characterization of scars giving rise to ventricular tachycardia (VT). Currently, there are limited data on clinical correlates of CT-derived scar substrates in NICM.

Background: Idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (IVF) can be associated with undetected distinct conditions such as microstructural cardiomyopathic alterations (MiCM) or Purkinje (Purk) activities with structurally normal hearts.
Objectives: This study sought to evaluate the characteristics of recurrent VF recorded on implantable defibrillator electrograms, associated with these substrates.
Methods: This was a multicenter collaboration study.

Introduction: The eradication of ventricular tachycardia (VT) isthmus sites constitutes the minimal procedural endpoint for VT ablation procedures. Contemporary high-resolution computed tomography (CT) imaging, in combination with computer-assisted analysis and segmentation of CT data, facilitates targeted elimination of VT isthmi. In this context, inHEART offers digitally rendered three-dimensional (3D) cardiac models which allow preoperative planning for VT ablations in ischemic and non-ischemic cardiomyopathies.
