Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

In this study, we will compare the quality of life in veterans having ICD who attend the ICD support groups to those who do not. We ask them to answer a set of quality of life questionnaires at baseline and then at 3,6,9 and 12 month visits. These questionnaires would be analyzed to assess if attending support groups made a difference. These results will be compared to a similar study done at Emory University on non veterans.
