Abstract

Extended reality (XR) is an emerging technology currently finding its way into various medical fields. This systematic review aimed to compile a comprehensive overview of the current data on XR in cardiovascular medicine. To identify the currently available evidence of the applications of XR in cardiology, we searched PubMed and Web of Science until 31 July 2024 using predefined keywords. After screening, a total of 164 studies were included. Overall, the publications were characterized by very heterogeneous study designs. From the published data, it can already be deduced that XR can support every area of cardiology, from education (n = 31) and training (n = 36) to peri-procedural care (n = 78) and rehabilitation (n = 16). Extended reality offers a wide range of applications, and the aim of using these technologies is to optimize the clinical practice. However, these technologies are still in development, and randomized controlled trials are urgently needed to identify their benefits and limitations.

心血管护理的扩展现实：系统综述。

扩展现实（XR）是一项新兴技术，目前正进入各个医疗领域。本系统综述旨在对心血管医学中XR的当前数据进行全面概述。为了确定XR在心脏病学中应用的现有证据，我们使用预定义的关键词搜索PubMed和Web of Science，直到2024年7月31日。筛选后，共纳入164项研究。总的来说，这些出版物的特点是研究设计非常不均匀。从已发表的数据可以推断，XR可以支持心脏病学的各个领域，从教育（n = 31）和培训（n = 36）到围手术期护理（n = 78）和康复（n = 16）。扩展现实提供了广泛的应用，使用这些技术的目的是优化临床实践。然而，这些技术仍处于发展阶段，迫切需要随机对照试验来确定它们的优点和局限性。
