Figure 3. Incidence rate ratios (IRRs) for arrhythmic events during the 2016 US presidential election.
Notes and definitions: Listed values may include multiple arrhythmic events within a single patient and are controlled for by the analysis. IRRs were not adjusted for baseline variables. Composite outcomes: supraventricular arrhythmias (atrial fibrillation [AF] and supraventricular tachycardia [SVT]), ventricular arrhythmias (nonsustained ventricular tachycardia [NSVT] and ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation [VT/VF]), and device therapy administered (antitachycardia pacing [ATP] and implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator [ICD] shocks). Because Abbott devices do not discriminate between nonsustained events (supraventricular vs ventricular), people with these devices were excluded from analyses of composite outcomes.
