Cost-Effectiveness of Outpatient Cardiac Monitoring to Detect Atrial Fibrillation After Ischemic Stroke
Background and Purpose—Extending the duration of continuous electrocardiography after ischemic stroke detects more new cases of atrial fibrillation, which is an important and treatable cause of stroke, but the cost-effectiveness of this approach is unknown. Therefore, we performed a cost-utility analysis of outpatient cardiac monitoring after ischemic stroke. Methods—Using a Markov model, we de...
متن کاملCost-effectiveness of dabigatran for stroke prophylaxis in atrial fibrillation.
BACKGROUND Recent studies have investigated alternatives to warfarin for stroke prophylaxis in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), but whether these alternatives are cost-effective is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS On the basis of the results from Randomized Evaluation of Long Term Anticoagulation Therapy (RE-LY) and other trials, we developed a decision-analysis model to compare the cost a...

متن کاملCost-Effectiveness of Atrial Fibrillation Ablation.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a frequently encountered rhythm disorder, characterized by high recurrence rate, frequent hospitalizations, reduced quality-of-life and increased the risk of mortality, heart failure and stroke. Along with these clinical complications this type of arrhythmia is the major driver of health-related expenditures. Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFA) of atrial fibrillat...
متن کاملAtrial fibrillation after acute stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a risk factor for stroke, although it may not always be directly responsible for the stroke. On the other hand, cardiac arrhythmias and electrocardiographic changes have been reported after ischemic stroke and numerous other intracranial pathologies. We tested the hypothesis that some patients with acute stroke may develop transient AF as a con...
