摘要
Depression and reduced sexual functioning have been identified as problems following ICD placement. We examined these issues, and multiple other quality-of-life measures,and their relationship to ICD and lCD discharge. Patients were 64 +/- 11 years old, 72% male, and had undergone ICD 20 +/- 14 months previously. Fifty-eight patients responded to a confidential biopsychosocial questionnaire. Positive attitudes toward the procedure increased from 52% before to 76% after implantation. Satisfaction correlated most strongly with less anger (P = 0.002, r = 0.45), less worry about ICD size (P = 0.007, r = 0.38), less sadness (P = 0.02, r = 0.37), and perceived better health (P = 0.01, r = 0.35). Of these ICD patients, 20%-58% reported measures of depression, and sexual frequency was reduced in 45%. Despite successful TCD placement, health concern increased in 62% of the respondents. Thirty-nine percent attended support groups; 96% found them very helpful. Mean number of ICD discharges described by responders was 5 +/- 12. Fifty percent of our sample reported greater than or equal to 1 shock; equal numbers had 1, 2-5, 6-10, and more than 10 shocks. Sixty-two percent of men herd at least one discharge compared to 13% of women. After controlling for cardiac clinical variables, experiencing greater than or equal to 1 ICD shock was strongly associated with anxiety about family (odds ratio = 7.3), reduced new activities (odds ratio = 6.9), increased sadness (odds ratio = 6.2), and health worry (odds ratio = 5.8). Experiencing greater than or equal to 5 ICD shocks was strongly associated with increased health concern (odds ratio = 13.6), increased sadness (odds ratio = 22.5), increased fatigue (odds ratio = 6.1), current sadness (odds ratio = 5.8), and increased nervousness (odds ratio = 5.3). ICD implantation powerfully affects quality-of-life. Postimplantation health concern is paradoxically increased despite improvement in actual health. Negative emotions are associated with defibrillator discharge.
