1. An apparatus for visualizing a conduction tract of a heart a subject, comprising:

  • a storage configured to store a generic heart model and model data, the generic heart model representing at least a portion of an actual heart, and the 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;

    an input configured to receive geometrical data of the heart of the subject corresponding to the generic heart model and electrophysiological data of the subject;

    a model adapter configured to adapt the generic heart model to match the geometrical data inputted to the input to generate an adapted generic heart model;

    a model data modifier configured to modify the model data into modified model data to reflect the adapted generic heart model provided by the model adapter indicating at least one of an adapted shape and an adapted position of the conduction tract in the generic heart model;

    a model refiner configured to refine 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; and

    a generator configured to generate a visualization of the conduction tract, having the at least one of the refined shape and the refined position, using the refined model data.
