The VIST® Right Heart Cath Trainer is an add-on and mobile application designed to provide interactive, real-time simulation of right heart catheterization (RHC) procedures. It uses rendered 3D anatomy to visually demonstrate the anatomical process behind pressure wave readings during RHC. The system includes a fluoroscopy mode and on-screen catheter controls to closely replicate the cath lab environment, allowing users to perform procedures, take pressure readings, and encounter both common and pathological results. When combined with the VIST® Mini hardware, the solution offers high-fidelity training with real tools, supporting the development of motor skills essential for RHC. This simulation is intended for clinicians, residents, and fellows to build confidence and experience before performing procedures on patients.
