Student <i>t</i> tests and χ² tests were used to identify associations with abnormal anxiety and depression scores.<h4>Results</h4>AHeart rhythm O2388-393https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC8369306biostudies-literatureAnxiety and depression in inherited channelopathy patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators.PMC8369306Singh SMMurray BTichnell CMcClellan RJames CABarth ASfalseAnxiety and depression in inherited channelopathy patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators.<h4>Background</h4>Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) are an effective treatment in some patients with inherited heart disease, including inherited channelopathies, yet they have also been shown to impact patients' psychological health.<h4>Objective</h4>We sought to improve understanding of the level of anxiety and depression as well as device acceptance among inherited channelopathy patients with an ICD.<h4>Methods</h4>Eligible patients seen at Johns Hopkins Hospital were sent a survey, which included the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Cardiac Anxiety Questionnaire (CAQ), and the Florida Patient Acceptance Survey (FPAS).
