Clinical aspects of virtual reality technologies application in cognitive rehabilitation of patients with cardiovascular diseases

Abstract

This analytical review considers the clinical aspects of the application of virtual reality (VR) technologies in the cognitive rehabilitation of patients with cardiovascular diseases. It is shown that VR-training is one of the actively developing rehabilitation methods. Its use has great potential for the treatment of cognitive disorders of a wide range (stroke, vascular cognitive disorders, cardiac surgery patients). Promising in the development of personalized approach in the cognitive rehabilitation of cardiac patients is the estimation of the initial level of cognitive reserve as an indicator of the possible activation of neuroplastic processes against the background of cognitive training using a virtual environment.
