DOI: 10.1007/s10865-020-00153-2
Abstract: Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) save lives, but often induce significant psychological distress among patients. Positive psychological constructs are associated with improved outcomes among cardiac patients. In this NHLBI-funded randomized controlled trial, one aim was to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.hrthm.2019.01.004
Abstract: BACKGROUND Subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (S-ICDs) are an established therapy for preventing sudden cardiac death. However, a considerable number of patients still undergo inappropriate shocks even after conventional preimplantation electrocardiographic (ECG) screening. OBJECTIVE This study aimed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2018.04.002
Abstract: BACKGROUND Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a potentially lethal cardiac channelopathy, but with the appropriate treatment strategy, such as beta-blockers, left cardiac sympathetic denervation (LCSD), and/or an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), most LQTS-triggered tragedies can… read more here.
