Summary

This study aims to investigate whether follow-up with a psychologist has an impact on the outcome of patients with an implantable automated defibrillator.

Detailed description

The implantation of an ICD in primary prevention is known to increase the rates of anxiety and depression, which can reach up to 45% and 35% respectively in this patient population. Several studies have reported that psychological accompaniment for these patients can alleviate the symptoms of anxiety and/or depression. Therefore, we aim to investigate the utility of psychological follow-up for a period of 1 year after first implantation of an ICD for primary prevention.
