“…The results of the study showed that the prevalence of depression is more than 23% among PM recipients, which is consistent with the study by Aydemir et al suggesting that 19% of patients suffered from depression 20 . The results showed no significant difference between PM and ICD recipients in terms of anxiety prevalence, but they showed a significant difference between the above groups in terms of in depression prevalence, meaning that people with ICD experienced higher depression, that is, ICD recipients experience higher depression, which is consistent with the findings of the studies by Kajanová, 21 Webster, 22 and Thylén 23 and also inconsistent with the findings of the studies by Duru 3 and Leosdottir 24 . This difference could be due to differences in the sample size of the study, measurement procedure, and time interval as well as differences in the type of depression and anxiety instrument.…”

Introduction Anxiety and depression among implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (ICD) recipients can lead to physical or psychological consequences and reduce the quality of life of these patients. Few studies have compared the frequency and severity of depressive and anxiety disorders in the pacemaker (PM) and ICD recipients. The aim of the present study was to compare depression and anxiety among PM and ICD recipients. Methods This cross‐sectional study was performed on 296 patients referred to a specialized cardiology teaching hospital from October 1, 2019 to July 1, 2020. Patients were selected using convenience sampling method. Results Regarding anxiety, the results showed that the overall prevalence of anxiety in PM, ICD, and control groups was 23.5%, 28%, and 8%, respectively. Results showed no significant difference between PM and ICD recipients regarding the anxiety prevalence (p = .46). With regard to depression, the results showed that the overall prevalence of depression in the PM, ICD, and control groups was 7.1%, 23%, and 4.1%, respectively. The results showed a significant difference between PM and ICD recipients in terms of depression prevalence (p = .03). The results also showed that the prevalence of depression was significantly higher among PM and ICD recipients than the control group (p = .01). Conclusion Considering the results of the present study and the high prevalence of anxiety and depression, it seems necessary to focus more on educating patients about the effectiveness of PM and ICD devices in reducing anxiety and depression.

“…The complex and unpredictable nature of the disease was characterized by a decline in the functional status of the persons, with increasing severity and frequency of symptoms over time punctuated by periods of unpredictable exacerbation from which patients might or might not recover. Moreover, in the literature it is demonstrated that patients with HF reported significant low mood, emotional strain of feelings of loss, role limitations, and feeling as a burden for their significant ones ( Brouwers et al, 2015 ), concerns also reported by patients with ICD ( Kajanová et al, 2017 ). Due to high caregiving demands, relatives reported emotional distress, restricted social life, and sleep disturbances caused by patients’ sleep apnea, and their use of diuretics ( Molloy et al, 2005 ).…”

“The heart in a bag”: The lived experience of patient-caregiver dyads with left ventricular assist device during cardiac rehabilitation

ObjectiveThe Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) has increasingly become a primary therapeutic option for longer-waiting heart transplant lists. Although survival rates are growing, the device requires complex home care. Therefore, the presence of a caregiver trained in the LVAD management is important for the success of the therapy. The LVAD leads both patients and their caregivers to experience new challenges and adapt to new lifestyle changes and limitations – but their subjective beliefs before home management remained little explored.DesignThis study identified, using a phenomenological hermeneutic approach, the main components of the LVAD experience of six patient-caregiver dyads interviewed during cardiac rehabilitation.ResultsWe identified 4 master themes: Being between life and death, Being human with a heart of steel, Sharing is caring (and a burden), and Being small and passive.ConclusionThe knowledge from this study can be used as a guide for healthcare providers in counseling LVAD recipients and their caregivers.

“…49 Furthermore, long-term effects can include increased risk of anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder, particularly among those with >5 recurrent shocks. 50,51 In one study of patients with previous ICD shocks, 23% of patients dreaded a future shock, and 5% of patients reported they wished they did not have an ICD. 52 Presence of an ICD at end of life further influences patients' quality of death with previous studies suggesting that shocks in the last 24 hours of life may be relatively common.…”

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. Despite medical advances, patients with CVD experience high morbidity and mortality rates, affecting their quality of life and death. Among CVD conditions, palliative care has been studied mostly in patients with heart failure, where palliative care interventions have been associated with improvements in patient-centered outcomes, including quality of life, end-of-life care, and health care use. Although palliative care is now incorporated into the American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology/Heart Failure Society of America guidelines for heart failure, the role of palliative care for non–heart failure CVD remains uncertain. Across all causes of CVD, palliative care can play an important role in all domains of CVD care from initial diagnosis to terminal care. In addition to general cardiovascular palliative care practices applicable to all areas, disease-specific palliative care needs may warrant individualized palliative care models. In this review, we discuss the role of cardiovascular palliative care for ischemic heart disease, valvular disease, arrhythmias, peripheral artery disease, and adult congenital heart disease. Although there are multiple barriers to cardiovascular palliative care, we recommend a framework for studying and developing cardiovascular palliative care models to improve patient-centered goal-concordant care for this underserved patient population.
