abstract = {Previous studies implied detrimental effects of adverse
childhood experiences (ACE) on cardiovascular disease and
mental health. Still, data on the influence of ACE on
psychological distress in patients with an implantable
cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) are lacking.We
prospectively recruited 423 patients with an ICD. To
determine associations between ACE (ACE questionnaire,
cut-off ≥4), depression (Patient Health Questionnaire-8),
anxiety (Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 scale), and
post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms
(Post-Traumatic Stress Diagnostic Scale), we conducted a
binary logistic regression analysis. Regression models were
adjusted for conventional risk factors of psychological
distress in ICD patients. To identify indirect mediating
effects of resilience (Resilience Scale) on ACE and
psychological distress, we applied the PROCESS regression
path analysis modeling tool.49.1 $\%$ of all patients
reported at least one ACE, and 9.7 $\%$ experienced even
four or more ACE. A high-risk ACE profile (≥ 4) was
associated with higher levels of anxiety (OR 3.68, 95 $\%$
CI 1.37-9.84, p = 0.009), depression (OR 4.08, 95 $\%$ CI
1.67-9.97, p = 0.002), and PTSD symptoms (OR 2.20, 95 $\%$
CI 1.03-5.21, p = 0.041). Greater resilience partially
mediated the relationship between ACE and depression
(indirect effect 0.11, 95 $\%$ CI 0.01-0.26) as well as
anxiety (indirect effect 0.08, 95 $\%$ CI 0.008-0.19).The
current study suggests an association between ACE and
psychological distress in patients with an ICD. However,
resilience could mitigate the adverse effects of ACE. Future
studies should strive to unravel the complex mechanisms of
ACE and its effects on cardiovascular and mental health in
ICD patients.},
