Summary

This study tested two simple, drug-free methods to help heart patients in the cardiac care unit feel less anxious and more focused. One group used virtual reality (VR) headsets, while the other group practiced a muscle relaxation technique. Researchers measured changes in anxiety levels and vital signs like heart rate and blood pressure to see which approach worked better.
