Cardiac Surgery in the Digital Age: Virtual Tools for Preoperative Planning and Real-time Assistance

The Living Heart Project is a revolutionary initiative that leverages AI and simulation-based approaches to advance cardiac care and improve patient outcomes. Cardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of global mortality, and AI-driven advancements have provided insights into the genetic factors and risk factors associated with conditions like Atrial fibrillation and Heart failure. The Living Heart Project has developed a digital human heart model that allows doctors to practice, train students, and plan therapies and surgeries virtually. This technology has enabled precise decision-making, clinical trials, and development of new cardiovascular products, promising a significant impact on the cardiac department and patient care.
