Annual Costs of Cardiovascular Events Included in the Model
| Health Care Cost | Value |
|---|---|
| Nonfatal MI - Initial Year | $12,392.82 |
| Nonfatal MI - Subsequent Years | $3278.32 |
| Nonfatal Stroke - Initial Year | $23,840.28 |
| Nonfatal Stroke - Subsequent Years | $4806.48 |
| Coronary Revascularization - Initial Yeara | $4676.47 |
| Coronary Revascularization - Subsequent Yearsa | $3411.53 |
| Unstable Angina - Initial Year | $5877.19 |
| Unstable Angina - Subsequent Years | $3463.99 |
| Cardiovascular Deathb | $7878.61 |
Notes: aThe cost of coronary revascularization was a weighted average of the costs of CABG and PCI, the distribution of which was based on expert opinion; bThe cost of CV death was calculated as the average of fatal MI and fatal stroke.
Abbreviations: CABG, coronary artery bypass grafting; CV, cardiovascular; MI, myocardial infarction; PCI, percutaneous coronary intervention.
