Cost-Effectiveness of Remote Haemodynamic Monitoring by an Implantable Pulmonary Artery Pressure Monitoring Sensor (CardioMEMS-HF System) in Chronic Heart Failure in the Netherlands
Authors' conclusion
The current cost-effectiveness study suggests that remote haemodynamic monitoring with PA-guided therapy on top of standard care is likely to be cost-effective for patients with symptomatic moderate-to-severe HF in the Netherlands.
Study context

Primary result
As reported in the abstract
Incremental cost per QALY gained (Dutch societal perspective, lifetime horizon)
- Base-case analysis
- incremental cost 12 121 €
- Incremental cost per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) gained (Dutch societal perspective, lifetime horizon)
- QALY gain 0.58 QALYs
- ICER €20 753 per QALY, below the Dutch willingness-to-pay threshold of €50 000 per QALY gained for HF
- 20 753
