Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Cardiovascular Anatomy
  • Virtual Reality Technology

Background:

  • Developing accurate 3D mental models of cardiac anatomy is crucial for electrophysiology (EP) trainees.
  • Traditional teaching methods may be less effective for complex 3D anatomical learning compared to immersive technologies.
  • Virtual reality (VR) presents a potential solution for enhanced anatomical education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the technical feasibility of a remote, interactive VR system for teaching cardiac anatomy.
  • To assess trainee satisfaction and preference for VR-based learning versus traditional methods.
  • To explore the potential impact of VR on anatomical knowledge acquisition in novice EP trainees.

Main Methods:

  • A pilot study involving 18 pediatric and adult EP trainees using a shared, remote VR environment with high-resolution 3D cardiac models.
  • A cohort study comparing VR learning with traditional teaching methods.
  • Data collection included demographic questionnaires, satisfaction surveys, and pre/post-test exams for adult trainees.

Main Results:

  • Both adult and pediatric EP trainees reported positive experiences and a preference for the VR learning environment over traditional methods.
  • All participants expressed interest in integrating the VR system into the EP fellowship curriculum.
  • System usability was rated as low by approximately one-third of participants, and the impact on adult trainees' exam performance was mixed.

Conclusions:

  • The study demonstrated the feasibility of using a shared VR environment to teach cardiac anatomy to geographically dispersed EP fellows.
  • While a direct learning benefit over traditional lectures was not conclusively shown in the adult cohort, the VR training was well-received.
  • Further development is needed to improve system usability for wider adoption in medical education.
