Article Synopsis
- The study explores the prevalence of headaches and identifies barriers that prevent people from seeking help, focusing on the relationship between those barriers and headache-related disabilities.
- High scores in help-seeking barriers like the need for control and self-reliance suggest that individuals often underestimate their headaches, which affects their willingness to seek assistance.
- Socioeconomic and occupational factors significantly influence these barriers, highlighting that those with lower socioeconomic status face more substantial challenges in seeking care and are often more disabled by their headaches.
Objectives: The impact of individual antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs) on mortality and hospital stay in atrial fibrillation (AF) was evaluated.
Background: Cardiovascular (CV) outcomes in AF patients receiving pharmacologic rhythm control therapy have not been compared with rate control therapy on the basis of AAD selection.
Methods: We compared CV outcomes in the AFFIRM (Atrial Fibrillation Follow-Up Investigation of Rhythm Management) trial in subgroups defined by the initial AAD selected with propensity score matched subgroups from the rate arm (Rate).
