Abstract

The global health sector has witnessed an escalating integration of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies, particularly in high-income countries. The application of these cutting-edge technologies is gradually extending to Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs), notably in the domain of cardiovascular care. AR and VR technologies are revolutionizing cardiovascular care by offering solutions for diagnosis, medical training, and surgical planning. AR and VR provide detailed and immersive visualizations of cardiac structures, aiding in diagnosis and intervention planning. In cardiovascular care, VR reduces patient-reported pain, eases anxiety, and accelerates post-procedural recovery. AR and VR are also valuable for life support training, creating immersive and controlled learning environments. AR and VR have the potential to significantly impact healthcare in low- and middle-income countries with enhanced accessibility and affordability. This review outlines the existing spectrum of VR and AR adoption and its burgeoning utility in the cardiovascular domain within LMICs.
