Abstract : With a virtual reality (VR) headset, a user may imitate an event or experience in a computer – generated setting. Immersive virtual reality simulations may be needed for the usage of gloves that offer sensory input or specialized 3-D eyewear with a screen. Numerous cardiology groups are using these advances for education, pre-procedural planning, intraprocedural visualization, and patient rehabilitation. To get the requisite dexterity and clinical competency, modern cardiac care involves progressively complicated percutaneous procedures and technical skills that call for extensive work hours and repeated practice. Cardiac interventions have a significant risk of serious consequences, therefore achieving successful results under pressure requires both appropriate technical competence and excellent team communication. VR technologies can play a significant part in this process. In this context, it is essential to have lifetime training and adequate exposure to these scenarios. The practice of clinical and technical skills training in the field of cardiac treatments can be completely transformed by VR technology. Individuals who experience an acute myocardial infarction (MI) are up to three times more likely than the general population (20-45% of patients with CVD) to exhibit symptoms of depression. Lately, the application of contemporary technologies- particularly those that function in virtual environments- has shown beneficial in the treatment of symptoms associated with anxiety and depression. Virtual reality (VR) improves accessibility in cardiology by making it easier to plan heart surgery or to consult with other exceptional cardiology professionals during procedures. Nonetheless, research on enhancing the benefits of rehabilitation using VR has also grown in popularity.
