Cost-utility analysis of the use of a wearable cardioverter defibrillator (LifeVest®) versus standard of care in the prevention of sudden cardiac death in patients after myocardial infarction
The strategy of preventing SCD through WCD usage proves to be cost-effective within the Polish healthcare context. The clinical benefits derived from WCD use justify the additional costs incurred, making it a viable option for SCD prevention in post-myocardial infarction patients in Poland.
