Abstract
BLSD performance of families of post-myocardial infarction patients decreases over time, even though the ability to operate AEDs appears to be the least affected component. Compliance with retraining sessions and AED checks declines over time and is improved if they are combined with clinical appointments. The implementation of a home defibrillation program does not affect anxiety, depression, or the quality of life.
