Apparatus and method for visualizing a conduction tract of heart

A method for visualizing a conduction tract of a heart of a subject, the method comprising acts of:

• providing a generic heart model and model data corresponding to the generic heart model indicating at least one of a shape and a position of the conduction tract in the generic heart model, the generic heart model representing at least a portion of an actual heart;
• obtaining geometrical data of the heart of the subject corresponding to the generic heart model;
• adapting the generic heart model to match the geometrical data obtained in the obtaining geometrical data act, and modifying the model data into modified model data to reflect the adapting act indicating at least one of an adapted shape and an adapted position of the conduction tract in the generic heart model;
• obtaining electrophysiological data of the subject;
• refining the modified model data into refined model data indicating at least one of a refined shape and a refined position of the conduction tract in the generic heart model based on the electrophysiological data obtained by the act of obtaining electrophysiological data;
• and
• generating a visualization of the conduction tract, having the at least one of the refined shape and the refined position, using the refined model data.
