Abstract:Objective: To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of insertable cardiac
monitors (ICMs) compared to standard of care (SoC) for detecting atrial
fibrillation (AF) in patients at high risk of stroke (CHADS2
>2), in the US. Background: ICMs are a clinically effective
means of detecting AF in high-risk patients, prompting the initiation of
non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOACs). Their cost-effectiveness from
a US clinical payer perspective is not yet known. Methods: Using patient
data from the REVEAL AF trial (n… Show more
