Figure 3. Cost Savings Associated with Screening for CVD in Men with ED.

Figure 3

Chart depicting annual cost savings associated with screening for CVD in men with ED extrapolated over 20 years. The gray line estimates the number of CVD events avoided per year. The filled gray regions represent cost savings associated with screening men with ED for CVD and subsequent treatment, either as a function of ED or CVD. Cumulatively, over 1.1 million CV events are avoided with a cumulative savings of over $28.5 billion. Annual screening costs are also indicated and represent a small fraction of the total cost savings.
