“…Although there is mixed evidence on the effect of single ICD shocks, 5,6 the literature consistently supports the negative impact of Ͼ5 shocks on quality of life and emotional distress. 7,8 ICD shock has been a focus of research interest because it is a unique experience for the ICD patient and can be perceived as a traumatic event. In addition, the existence of concomitant heart disease, angina, congestive heart failure, or previous sudden death may create sensitivity to traumatic stress that warrants improved understanding by attending electrophysiologists.…”

“…Este fenó-meno se presentaba en los primeros ensayos en cuyos modelos de supervivencia no se hacía el ajuste por las diferentes variables clínicas; por ello se subestimó al comienzo el impacto de la terapia farmacológica comparada con las electrofisiológicas, y solo a partir de la década de los años noventa se preconizó el concepto de la terapia optimizada con base en los resultados de los grandes estudios con beta-bloqueadores e inhibidores de la enzima convertidora de angiotensina (IECA) que redujeron la mortalidad de forma significativa, como ninguna otra intervención lo había hecho (39,40), También se evidenció, con los estudios hechos con sotalol y amiodarona, que el uso de los antiarrítmicos no modificaba la mortalidad y escasamente lo hacía sobre la calidad de vida, lo que fuera un dogma terapéutico para la época (41)(42)(43)(44). Hay informes sobre un porcentaje superior al 90 % de uso de la terapia farmacológica optimizada para insuficiencia cardíaca en el ambiente controlado (19,20,45) y en el mundo real, como se observó en los estudios en la seguridad social de Estados Unidos (38).…”

“…Por lo anterior, aparece la necesidad de estudios que evalúen el impacto en la calidad de vida teniendo en cuenta la depresión clínica, el deterioro cognoscitivo y los cuidados de enfermería como factores ínti-mamente relacionados con el efecto de las terapias. Incluso en el Primer Mundo ha habido pocos trabajos al respecto (41,42,46).…”

“…In a similar analysis of the Canadian Implantable Defibrillator Study (CIDS) in which patients (mean age 63 years) were randomized to ICD therapy or amiodarone, emotional and physical heath scores were shown to improve significantly in the ICD group but not the amiodarone randomized group. 78) However, in a small subgroup of patients who received greater than or equal to 5 shocks from their device, the beneficial effects observed in regards to QoL with ICD implantation were no longer evident. From the current literature, it can be suggested that ICD therapy has at least equal, or possibly an improved effect on QoL when compared to antiarrhythmic therapy excluding those patients who experience a higher frequency of shocks.…”
