Electrical therapy of the heart has rapidly evolved over recent
years with the development of the cardiac implantable defibrillator
and the application of the cardiac resynchronization therapy to
improve performance of the congestive failed heart. There is an
impressive amount of literature produced to assess the efficacy and
effectiveness of the electrical therapy. New technology is
continuously introduced into the market for the treatment of
electrical heart disease with optimized performance and implemented
design, with approximately 600,000 new pacemakers implanted each
year. Attention of the electrophysiology community has mainly
focused on the biomedical aspects of electrical therapy, but the
psychological, emotional, social and cognitive aspects of the
implantable devices has been largely overlooked. Health-related
quality of life (QoL) and, to a lesser extent, psychological
disorders, i.e. anxiety and depression, have rarely been assessed
as outcomes in clinical trials, and results are pointing towards
the impact of the implantable devices on QoL and mental health not
being direct but moderated and mediated by several biomedical as
well as psychosocial variables. Furthermore, the cognitive effects
of the implantable devices have rarely been assessed in empirical
studies, although cognitive impairment is largely associated with
the heart disorders that require implantation of an electrical
device and cognitive benefits are strongly expected from the
therapy. The aim of this book is to collect, appraise and condense
the results of all empirical studies that have investigated, even
marginally, the relationships between the implantable devices and
any psychological, emotional, social and cognitive dimension. This
book is a cornerstone for all involved in device utilization
(physicians, nurses, technicians, industry representatives) that
need to understand this topic.
