Summary

The goal of this prospective pilot study is to learn if the use of virtual reality and/or relaxing soundscapes can help lower anxiety in adult patients undergoing a scheduled coronary angiography or angioplasty as compared to the standard of care. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* The use of non-pharmacological strategies reduces intraprocedural stress and anxiety compared to standard of care
* Reducing anxiety limits the use of pharmacological agents, which increases patient safety.

Researchers will compare the use of relaxing soundscapes or virtual reality to the standard of care to see the effects of these strategies on pain, anxiety and stress.

Participants will:

* listen to relaxing soundscapes, OR experience virtual reality including soundscapes OR standard of care during their procedure,
* Answer pain, anxiety and recovery questionnaires,
* Answer satisfaction questionnaires.
