Abstract
This 12-month longitudinal prospective study tracked the depression and anxiety levels of implantable cardioverter defibrillator recipients after implantation of the device. Depression and anxiety levels dropped significantly over time. These findings suggest that interventions should be implemented early because the needs are greatest in the first few weeks after device implantation.
