Approaches to Improve the Outcome of the Ablation of Cardiac Arrhythmias

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video presentation, Theo Mour-Dordes, the co-founder and CEO of Volta Medical, discusses how artificial intelligence (AI) is being used to improve the outcome of cardiac arrhythmia ablation. Volta Medical has developed a software solution called Vx1, which uses machine learning and deep learning models to identify abnormal electrogram patterns in real-time during ablation procedures. The software has been trained using a large database of annotated electrograms and has been tested in multiple centers with promising results. A reader study comparing the performance of Vx1 with trained electrophysiologists showed that the software's adjudications strongly correlated with the physicians' adjudications. Additionally, the study found that Vx1's agreement levels with operators were on par with inter-operator agreement levels. Volta Medical is now working on developing more tools and modules to enhance their software and plans to integrate these solutions into hands-on EP lab software for commercialization.
