Key result
VR and AR effectively reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms during cardiac rehabilitation.
Why the study?
This review aimed to outline the existing and future role of virtual reality and augmented reality across multiple sectors of cardiology, along with their challenges and perspectives.
Virtual reality and augmented reality applications offer novel approaches to supplement traditional techniques in cardiovascular teaching, rehabilitation, and catheterization laboratories.
Supports adjunctive VR/AR in cardiac rehab; hypothesis-generating and requires RCTs before practice change.
Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) applications benefit both health care providers and patients in cardiovascular teaching by supplementing traditional techniques.VR/AR has already been utilized to treat patients in rehabilitation programmers and in intensive care patients who are immobilized. In the catheterization laboratory, there are a slew of other possibilities.The ultimate goal of AR and VR display development is to provide reality-like, crystal-clear visuals that can imitate, integrate into, or rebuild the surrounding environment while avoiding discomfort.Virtual reality has become a novel approach to improving the efficacy of medical treatment intervention as a result of improvements in computer technology. Cardiopulmonary rehabilitation has long been considered a necessary treatment for people who have survived heart attacks or strokes. The goal of this review is to outline the existing and future role of virtual reality and augmented reality in many sectors of cardiology, as well as their problems and perspectives.

Ladkhedkar et al. (2022) conducted a review in Cardiovascular disease. Virtual reality and augmented reality vs. Traditional techniques was evaluated. Virtual reality and augmented reality serve as complementary tools in cardiac rehabilitation, effectively reducing anxiety and depressive symptoms in patients with cardiovascular diseases.
