Depressive symptoms correlate with low QoL and lower long-term functional status in patients with HF and an ICD. Depressive symptoms are associated with smoking and obesity, which themselves are risk factors for a poor prognosis in HF.

Assessing depressive symptoms and lifestyle factors should be part of a multimodal treatment plan in patients with HF and an ICD
