Description: Digital twins, virtual representations of physical systems using computational models, have the potential to transform cardiac electrophysiology by integrating patient-specific data for personalized care. This session will critically evaluate their promise and limitations in guiding arrhythmia treatment, optimizing devices, and enhancing risk assessment. Speakers will discuss the challenges of achieving real-time, high-fidelity simulations and the need for caution when applying the digital twin concept in clinical and research contexts. Attendees will explore how this technology could reshape the field while considering the risks of overstating its current capabilities.
