Despite a decline in deaths from coronary artery disease in many developed countries, growth in cardiac imaging has contributed to rising health care expenditures over the last few decades. Given these rising costs, there is increasing pressure from government agencies, insurance companies, and other stakeholders to demonstrate proof of value for all medical expenditures. Cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) compares the costs and outcomes for a new intervention with an existing alternative treatment, strategy, or intervention. The questions such analyses aim to answer are: How much does the new intervention cost compared with current practice? Is it more effective? If so, how much more? It is clear that CEA is critical for the future of cardiac imaging given rising costs and increasing scrutiny from third-party payers. In this chapter we will provide a brief overview of the techniques of CEA as applied to cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) and review the current literature as it pertains to CMR in both US and European contexts.
