This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether virtual reality glasses — specifically, watching calming nature scenes through them — can help reduce anxiety and improve vital signs (like blood pressure and heart rate) in people who have just had a heart attack and are in intensive care. Right now, doctors don't have many tools beyond medication to help patients feel calmer during this scary time, so this study explores whether technology might help.
After a heart attack, patients often feel very anxious while recovering in the intensive care unit, which can actually make their vital signs worse. Researchers want to know if this new treatment — using virtual reality to show peaceful nature scenes — could be a simple, non-medication way to help patients feel safer and more stable during recovery.

If you're in the treatment group, you'll wear virtual reality glasses and watch peaceful nature videos for a period of time while researchers measure your blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen levels, and anxiety before and after. If you're in the comparison group, your vital signs and anxiety will simply be measured without you using the virtual reality glasses. The study involves about 50 participants total and takes place while you're in the cardiac intensive care unit.
