The Lead Episode 164: A Discussion of Digital Twin–Guided Ablation for Ventricular Tachycardia

Recorded at HRS2026, this episode of The Lead features host Christopher Kowalewski, MD, in conversation with Junaid A.B. Zaman, MA, MD, PhD, CCDS, and Patrick Boyle, BS, PhD, FHRS, about the journal article, Digital Twin–Guided Ablation for Ventricular Tachycardia. Together, they discuss the study's findings and explore the use of digital twin technology to guide ventricular tachycardia ablation and its potential implications for clinical electrophysiology. Learning Objectives Review the design and key findings of the study evaluating digital twin–guided ablation for ventricular tachycardia. Discuss the use of digital twin technology as a tool to guide ventricular tachycardia ablation. Explore the potential clinical implications of digital twin–guided ablation for the management of ventricular tachycardia. Host: Christopher Kowalewski, MD   Guests: Junaid A.B.
