inHEART Models software - novel 3D cardiac modeling solution.

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.
