State transition diagram. The Markov model has two health states, stable heart failure (HF) and death. There is a monthly transition probability of moving from stable HF to dead state. Hospitalization is modelled as an event; there is a monthly risk of patients being hospitalized, which is used to estimate the costs/quality‐adjusted life years. The patients are assumed to revert back to stable HF after hospitalization.
