This week we review a recent work from the team at Stanford University on post-traumatic stress disorder amongst pediatric patients with ICD's as well as their parents. How common is this diagnosis seen amongst these patients and their parents and what are some of the reasons for this? How should patients receiving devices be properly screened for this and why is identification of PTSD so important? Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford, Dr. Lauren Schneider, shares her insights into her work this week. doi: 10.1016/j.hrthm.2022.06.025
