Multicenter Study Comparative Study
A comparative study of pain in heart failure and non-heart failure veterans.
Progress has been made in addressing pain in specific diseases such as cancer, but less attention has focused on understanding pain in nonmalignant states, including heart failure (HF). ⋯ Although HF has not been identified as a painful condition, this study suggests the burden of pain is significant for both HF and non-HF ambulatory care patients.
