Abstract

In 1997, 30% of total health care expenditures ($326.6 billion) in the United States were directly or indirectly related to cardiovascular disease (CVD) (1). Given the enormous financial burden placed on society by CVD, there is an increasing interest in evaluating the efficiency with which the dollars are spent. Cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) is a methodology designed for such evaluations.
