Sponsor's own description

Determine the benefits of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) patients participating in a structured, 8-week educational telephone intervention delivered by expert cardiovascular nurses post-ICD. To determine if individuals participating in a post-hospital telephone nursing intervention would demonstrate (1) increased physical functioning, (2) increased psychological adjustment, (3) improved self-efficacy in managing the challenges of ICD recovery, and (4) lower levels of health care utilization over usual care at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months post-ICD implantation.
