Abstract
Introduction
Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) and pacemaker (PM) implantation may lead to anxiety and depression, which may reduce patients' quality of life. The aim of our study was to compare depression and anxiety following device implantation.
Methods
This prospective study was conducted on 202 patients admitted to our hospital with ICD and PM implants between January 2024 and January 2025.
Results
The prevalence of anxiety in PM and ICD recipients was 25.9% and 38.8%, respectively. There was a significant difference in anxiety in ICD patients (< 0.001). In terms of depression, the results in the PM and ICD groups were 18.9 and 38.9, respectively. The results showed a significant difference in the prevalence of depression between PM and ICD recipients. The tendency toward depression was statistically significant in both device recipients (PM; p = 0.008, ICD; p < 0.001).
Conclusion
Considering the prevalence of anxiety and depression, it seems necessary to pay closer attention to the anxiety and depression states of patients who have been treated with PM and ICD devices and to provide more widespread education to these patients.
期刊介绍:
The ANNALS OF NONINVASIVE ELECTROCARDIOLOGY (A.N.E) is an online only journal that incorporates ongoing advances in the clinical application and technology of traditional and new ECG-based techniques in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac patients.
ANE is the first journal in an evolving subspecialty that incorporates ongoing advances in the clinical application and technology of traditional and new ECG-based techniques in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac patients. The publication includes topics related to 12-lead, exercise and high-resolution electrocardiography, arrhythmias, ischemia, repolarization phenomena, heart rate variability, circadian rhythms, bioengineering technology, signal-averaged ECGs, T-wave alternans and automatic external defibrillation.
ANE publishes peer-reviewed articles of interest to clinicians and researchers in the field of noninvasive electrocardiology. Original research, clinical studies, state-of-the-art reviews, case reports, technical notes, and letters to the editors will be published to meet future demands in this field.
