What is the most cost-effective strategy to screen for left ventricular systolic dysfunction?
Community-based screening for left ventricular systolic dysfunction using various modalities is cost-effective, particularly in high-risk populations.
Thus several different modalities allow cost-effective community-based screening for LVSD, especially in high-risk subjects. Such programmes would be cost-effective and miss few cases of LVSD in the community.
Galasko et al. (Wed,) studied this question.
