background: psychological problems such as depression constitute a dilemma that patients with the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (icd) usually encounter and may impact their quality of life. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of depression among adults with the icd and the relationship between depression and associated factors. methods: totally, 115 individuals ...
متن کاملGender Differences in Appropriate Shocks and Mortality among Patients with Primary Prophylactic Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
BACKGROUND Some but not all prior studies have shown that women receiving a primary prophylactic implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) have a lower risk of death and appropriate shocks than men. PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of gender on the risk of appropriate shock, all-cause mortality and inappropriate shock in contemporary studies of patients receiving a primary prophylactic ICD. ...

متن کاملShocks as predictors of survival in patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators.
OBJECTIVES The objective of the study was to determine whether the occurrence of shocks for ventricular tachyarrhythmias during therapy with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD) is predictive of shortened survival. BACKGROUND Ventricular tachyarrhythmias eliciting shocks are often associated with depressed ventricular function, making assessment of shocks as an independent risk facto...
متن کاملSex difference in appropriate shocks but not mortality during long-term follow-up in patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators
AIMS Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) have been shown to improve survival, although a considerable number of patients never receive therapy. Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators are routinely implanted regardless of sex. There is continuing controversy whether major outcomes differ between men and women. METHODS AND RESULTS In this retrospective single-centre study, 1151 cons...
