“…Multidisciplinary approach encompassing supervised exercise training, patient counseling, education and nutritional guidance may also enhance quality of life in CDV patients [41]. The European Society of Cardiology urges the creation of a model that optimizes the results of long-term CR programs, because loss of adherence is one of the key factors hindering this type of study [42][43][44][45]. For this reason, new technologies and within them the application of VR and videogames as tools of physical training through software that encourages the performance of physical exercise (exergames) could be promising in the coming years.…”

Purpose: The objective of this paper is to carry out a systematic review about the information about the application of of virtual reality (VR) and videogames in cardiac rehabilitation (CR).Methods: A systematic review was conducted. Jadad scale was applied to evaluate the methodological quality of the articles included and the degree of evidence and the level of recommendation were determined through the Oxford Center for Evidence-Based Medicine.PRISMA guidelines statement for systematic reviews were followed. Results:The total number of articles included in the present review was 10, with heterogeneity in the study populations, CR phases, technology used and protocols. Most of the studies showed an increase in heart rate, less pain, a greater ability to walk, higher energy levels, an increase in physical activity and improvements of motivation and adherence. The methodological quality of the studies was between acceptable and poor.Conclusions: The use of VR and videogames could be considered as complementary tools of physical training in patients with CVD in the different phases of CR. However, it is also necessary to carry out studies with adequate methodological quality to determine the ideal technological systems, target populations and clearly protocols to study their effects in the short, medium and long-term assessments.
