Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the current study was to determine the factors associated with increased levels of anxiety and depression both before and after pacemaker implantation and examine if changes in these symptoms occur during the first postoperative year.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Both clinical and experimental studies declared that RV pacing and the position of RV lead may lead to ventricular desynchrony, mimics that of LBBB with subsequent abnormal mechanical and electrical activation of the ventricles . This results in changes in cardiac perfusion, hemodynamics, metabolism and mechanical function .

With time, RV pacing may also lead to LV remodeling and structural changes . Also, it has been mentioned that the presence of mechanical desynchrony after long-term RV pacing especially the apical one is linked with reduced LV systolic function and deterioration in the functional capacity and psychological aspects of the patients also in some cases adverse clinical outcomes such as heart failure, atrial fibrillation and death However, in daily clinical practice, not all patients with RV apical pacing will have these adverse events.

Patients' depression and anxiety before and after pacemaker implantation have been understudied. National and international literature show only few studies about anxiety and depression in patients who experience a pacemaker but more research has reported that these two variables are heavily noticed in cardiovascular patients.

In fact, they are so frequent in patients with coronary artery disease, heart failure, and in patients who had an implanted defibrillator. It has been suggested that anxiety and depression have a prevalence ranging from 18% to 50% in cardiac patients . The few studies that have studied anxiety and depression in pacemaker patients researched these variables only in an unfaithful time from the implantation and without considering any changes before and after the pacemaker implantation.

In elderly population on the consequent increase of patients with pacemakers, this problem becomes an essential one to study to support healthcare providers to know not only the problem, but also who is at high risk to develop anxiety and depression. Research has illustrated that lower levels of anxiety and depression among elderly patients are linked with perceptions of higher quality of life and less need for the use of health services. The improvement of wellbeing in elderly patients has implications for health care providers designing preoperative and follow up care for patients undergoing pacemaker Implantation.
