“…Overprotective behaviour between the spouse and the patient were reported in the context of MI [29,30,32,34,39,42,43], patients with an ICD following malign arrhythmia [28,31,38], and patients suffering from heart failure [33]. One study reported on the phenomenon in the context of both heart failure and arrhythmia [27].…”

“…Partners are constantly worried when the patients performed activities or went away from the house alone [27,29,32,33,38,39] due to concern of a new MI/angina attack [32]. Overprotective behaviour and partner control led to resentment and frustration in patients [30,31]. However, some patients understood their spouses' good intentions [30], but sometimes still felt controlled; as being on probation in having to disclose what they had done during the day [27,29,42].…”

“…Changes in daily life and shifting of domestic roles within the partner relationship following cardiac disease were identified in the context of MI [29,32,34,36,39,42,43], patients with ICD [28,31], and patients suffering from heart failure [33]. Ten of the studies employed a qualitative methodology, whereas two [36] utilised a quantitative approach.…”

“…However, specific research on psychosocial effects of driving restriction in ICD patients is scarce. One qualitative study conducted in the [50] UK reports that driving restrictions are perceived as difficult for patients and their family and have an immediate consequence for their lifestyle. This entailed feelings of resentment and anger, increased dependence on others, lacking confidence in driving, and imposed family sanctions when driving.…”

Patients with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) have an ongoing risk of sudden incapacitation that might cause harm to others while driving a car. Driving restrictions vary across different countries in Europe. The most recent recommendations for driving of ICD patients in Europe were published in 1997 and focused mainly on patients implanted for secondary prevention. In recent years there has been a vast increase in the number of patients with an ICD and in the percentage of patients implanted for primary prevention. The EHRA task force on ICD and driving was formed to reassess the risk of driving for ICD patients based on the literature available. The recommendations are summarized in the following table and are further explained in the document, (Table see text). Driving restrictions are perceived as difficult for patients and their families, and have an immediate consequence for their lifestyle. To increase the adherence to the driving restrictions, adequate discharge of education and follow-up of patients and family are pivotal. The task force members hope this document may serve as an instrument for European and national regulatory authorities to formulate uniform driving regulations.
