In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Role of the implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is to monitor heart rate and discharge a small electrical discharge or shock if the heart rate becomes life threatening. Patients and family members have requested more information about their ICD, how it works and how to live well with the device. This study will build on previous research by designing, in collaboration with patients, family members and professionals, an online resource to provide important information that can lower anxiety and concerns, and improve quality of life. The CHOICE-ICD resource will be easy to use, incorporating games and quizzes to encourage engagement, up to date information appropriate to each patient's needs, as well as animation clips, virtual reality, and short patient videos. CHOICE-ICD will be made available to 64 patients, in addition to normal care, awaiting or with a recently implanted ICD
