The Cardiac Rhythm Management (CRM) software module by Mentice is a simulation platform designed to train physicians in the procedural steps of cardiac rhythm management, including lead implantation and device selection. The software provides a realistic, risk-free environment for practicing and refining skills in lead placement, navigation of the right atrium and ventricle, and cannulation of the coronary sinus. It allows users to analyze lead position using intrinsic signals, lead impedance, and threshold testing, and to manage anatomical variations such as the valve of Vieussens and Thebesian flap block. The module is based on real-life anatomical data and includes advanced metrics for performance assessment and progress tracking. By enabling repeated practice across various anatomical scenarios, the software helps clinicians develop proficiency in CRM procedures without exposing patients to unnecessary risk[2].
