Families of children with inherited heart rhythm disorders experience anxiety: a 53-patient study from Hacettepe
A study published in a journal and reviewed by independent scientists. Even so, a single study is not conclusive; it needs to be replicated.
Hacettepe University measured anxiety in children with inherited rhythm disorders and in their families. The study includes 53 children diagnosed with long QT syndrome or CPVT. The highest anxiety was seen in mothers. Anxiety was greater in mothers with a family history of sudden death. Anxiety was also higher in children who had undergone an interventional procedure.
What does it mean for patients and families?
This disease affects not only the heart but the whole family. Feeling anxious is normal. You can ask your doctor for a referral for psychological support.
