Cost-of-illness of heart failure with preserved and reduced ejection fraction in the Philippines
HF management poses a significant burden-of-disease for Filipinos. The annual societal costs of HF management potentially expose Filipinos to catastrophic health spending and impoverishment, especially in a system where a substantial portion of healthcare expenses are paid out-of-pocket. These findings highlight the urgent need to prioritize preventive public health interventions and enhance financial risk protection for HF patients.
