Article Synopsis
- Heart failure is a major global health issue, and managing it effectively is crucial for improving patient outcomes and lowering healthcare costs, with ACE inhibitors and ARBs being common treatments.
- A study using a decision-analytic Markov model aimed to compare the cost-effectiveness of ACE inhibitors and ARBs, considering medical costs and health outcomes for patients with heart failure.
- Results indicated that ACE inhibitors had lower costs and slightly better health outcomes (quality-adjusted life years) compared to ARBs, with the findings remaining consistent across various sensitivity and subgroup analyses.
