Cost-effectiveness and future implications for cardiovascular imaging

Leslee J Shaw. Can J Cardiol. 2013 Mar.

Abstract

This review highlights the current economic climate for health care and the evidentiary standards that are increasingly applied to appropriate use of cardiovascular imaging. Additionally, the evidence on cost efficiency and effectiveness is explored in this review. Ongoing multicentre registries and clinical trials will further enrich this evidence base with regard to value-based imaging strategies that provide enhanced effectiveness and efficiency resulting in improved patient outcomes.
