The economics of cardiac failure.
Quality assurance and inclusion of prospective evaluation of costs of treatment in phase 3 and 4 pharmaceutical trials are becoming increasingly important. Not only high technology applications have to be investigated, but also relatively cheap but very common strategies for diagnostic work up and therapy. This may yield major savings. We are at the beginning of an era in which waste of resources may be reduced by scientific analysis with improvement in patient care and teaching achieved as a result.
