EJHF-747-FIG-0003-c — Cost‐effectiveness scatter plot. Each of the dots on the scatter plot is one of 1000 mean cost and utility results of 20 000 model runs each with different input values sampled from the input distributions. PAP, pulmonary artery pressure; WTP, willingness to pay. The WTP = £20 000/QALY (quality‐adjusted life year) is the typically accepted NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) threshold. Almost all of the samples (97.6%) fall under the WTP threshold, suggesting that CardioMEMS has a 97.6% probability of being cost‐effective at that threshold.
