Abstract 144: Cost of Cardiovascular Disease Episodes among Patients with Hypertension Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusions: Cost estimates of CVD episodes among hypertensive patients are consistent with results from the scarce literature in this area. Moreover, our study finds evidence of increased medical resource utilization weeks before the recording of the CVD episode. Omitting these pre-event costs leads to an underestimate of the true costs of CVD.
