Heart failure & cardiomyopathies
The Cost-Effectiveness of Dapagliflozin in Heart Failure with Preserved or Mildly Reduced Ejection Fraction: A European Health-Economic Analysis of the DELIVER Trial
Authors' conclusion
Dapagliflozin, added to usual care, is very likely cost-effective for HF with mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction in several European countries.
