BACKGROUND: The psychological impact of @entity737 ( @entity737 ) in @entity299 ( @entity299 ) has not been established. OBJECTIVE: To compare device acceptance, quality of life, @entity148 and @entity308 between @entity299 @entity1 with @entity737 ( @entity1479 -Congenital), with pacemakers (PPM-Congenital), with no devices (No Device-Congenital) and non- @entity299 @entity1 with @entity737 ( @entity1479 -Non-Congenital). METHODS: A total of 147 @entity299 and 46 non- @entity299 @entity1 (age 45.0  14.7 years, 56.5% males) completed the Florida @entity1 Acceptance Survey (FPAS), the 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) and Hospital Anxiety _ @entity308 Scale (HADS). RESULTS: @entity1479 -Congenital @entity1 (n=59) showed lower device acceptance compared to PPM-Congenital @entity1 (n=41), p=0.04, and reported worse quality of life (p=0.001) and higher prevalence of @entity308 (p=0.009) when compared to No Device-Congenital (n=47) @entity1 . @entity1479 -Congenital and @entity1479 -Non-Congenital @entity1 (n=46) showed similar mental and physical health, device acceptance, @entity148 and @entity308 . Within @entity1479 -Congenital, @entity1 with poorest device acceptance (FPAS <67, "Non-Acceptors") showed significantly lower mental health scores (p=0.008), and higher levels of @entity148 (p=0.02) and @entity308 (p=0.01) compared to "Acceptors" (FPAS >= 67). "Non-Acceptors" were younger at survey (p=0.006), younger at @entity1479 implantation (p=0.01) and were less likely to have received appropriate shocks (p=0.03). CONCLUSION: Younger age and lack of appropriate @entity1479 shocks are risk factors for poor @entity1479 acceptance. Device acceptance is lower in @entity299 who receive an @entity1479 than those who receive pacemakers. Appropriate screening for @entity148 and @entity308 may be warranted for @entity299 @entity1 considered for @entity1479 implantation or already living with @entity737 .
