Computational modeling and simulation of the electrical activity of the heart is an emerging and interdisciplinary field, which is establishing as a fundamental tool in cardiac electrophysiology practice. However, the employment of cardiac simulations in the clinical practice is still challenging and limited by the high computational power and expertise needed for the development of cardiac models. The talk will focus on the available strategies to overcome such limitations providing specific examples of cardiac electrophysiology simulations in clinical cardiology. In particular, scar-related arrhythmia ablation guided\aided by computational models is one of the most promising applications in this context. The talk will present a recent unpublished study assessing the performance of computational models in identifying deceleration zones and reentry circuits to aid clinicians in ablation planning.
