Digital Twins in Cardiology: Dream or Reality?
Despite remarkable advances in cardiovascular medicine, significant challenges remain—predicting sudden cardiac death, decoding complex imaging of fibrotic substrates, tailoring catheter ablation, guiding transcatheter valve implantation, and planning intricate surgical repairs. In this session, Dr. Bessiere, cardiologist and electrophysiologist at Hospices Civils de Lyon and researcher at INSERM, joins Dr. El Houari, engineer at Ansys, to explore how digital twins—powered by the PyAnsysHeart platform—may help bridge these clinical gaps. From electrophysiology to structural heart disease, they’ll unpack real-world scenarios where simulation meets precision care.
