Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2020 Dec;96(7):1415-1416. doi: 10.1002/ccd.29414.

Abstract

A simple 3-min educational video viewed before cardiac catheterization significantly improved patient knowledge and alleviated patient anxiety. The key characteristics of a good educational video are: clarity, simplicity, brevity, and humanity. Educational videos may benefit both patients and operators but require continuous evaluation and improvement.
