- W1971554610 abstract "Patient perspectives about their illness experiences, symptoms, and treatment are essential aspects of quality of life and provide direction for patient and provider decision making regarding innovative therapies such as implantable devices for arrhythmia.The purpose of this qualitative study was to describe: 1) the experience of patients living with symptomatic, drug-refractory atrial fibrillation (AF) and 2) patient experiences and acceptance of treatment with the implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) with atrial therapies (ICD-AT) including ventricular and atrial defibrillation therapy.Subjects were 3 women and 8 men, 35 to 80 years of age, who received the Medtronic Jewel AF 7250 ICD-AT as therapy for recurrent, drug-refractory AF, had a history of AF for 3 to 20 years and had experienced multiple treatment modalities including frequent external cardioversion in an effort to control their AF.A semi-structured interview addressed experiences of symptoms and prior treatment for AF and experiences, concerns, and perceived benefits of the ICD-AT. Interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. Narratives were coded and categorized using Atlas Ti(R) software. Qualitative interpretive analysis methods were used to identify key themes.Before ICD-AT, patient themes focused on AF that was: 1) misdiagnosed, minimized, and poorly treated; 2) distressful because of frequent and intense AF symptoms (fatigue, dizziness, shortness of breath, and anxiety) before ICD-AT; 3) limiting of activities of daily living; 4) associated with distress from enduring previous treatment; and 5) associated with the continuous pursuit of successful treatment and maintenance of normalcy. Decision making regarding ICD-AT therapy included weighing symptom or treatment distress versus anticipated risks or benefits, hope for better outcomes, and lack of options. After ICD-AT, themes included positive perceptions of the device because of AF symptom relief, ability to resume normalcy, and medication tolerance; incorporation of shock experiences into life routines; and patient suggestions regarding preparation and social support.Symptoms of AF have a major negative impact on overall quality of life. Treatment with the ICD-AT confers a sense of security and reduced symptom distress. Greater provider attention to patient preparation and facilitating social support are important for future ICD-AT patient care." @default.
