BACKGROUND Vietnam is in the process of an epidemiological transition, with cardiovascular disease (CVD) now ranked as the leading cause of death. The burden of CVD will continue to rise unless effective interventions for addressing its underlying risk factors are put in place. OBJECTIVES To assess the costs, health effects and cost-effectiveness of a set of personal and non-personal prevention strategies to reduce CVD in Vietnam, including mass media campaigns for reducing consumption of…

Prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease in Ethiopia: a cost-effectiveness analysis
TLDR
This study has demonstrated that selected CVD intervention packages could be scaled up at a modest budget increase and provides valuable evidence for setting priorities in an essential healthcare package for CVD in Ethiopia.
Costs and Cost-Effectiveness of Interventions and Policies to Prevent and Treat Cardiovascular and Respiratory Diseases
TLDR
This chapter catalogues the results of dozens of high-quality, cost-effectiveness analyses for cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes, respiratory, and kidneyrelated conditions and risk factors (hereafter termed CVRDs)—much of it with country-specific data.
Evidence for cost-effectiveness of lifestyle primary preventions for cardiovascular disease in the Asia-Pacific Region: a systematic review
TLDR
Good quality cost-effectiveness information on interventions targeting behavioural interventions for the Asia-Pacific region remains a major gap in the literature.
Dietary Salt Reduction, Prevalence of Hypertension and Avoidable Burden of Stroke in Vietnam: Modelling the Health and Economic Impacts
TLDR
Achieving the national salt reduction targets in Vietnam could result in substantial population health and economic benefits, and Estimated gains were larger if the WHO salt targets were attained and if changes can be sustained over the longer term.
Cost effectiveness of strategies to combat cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and tobacco use in sub-Saharan Africa and South East Asia: mathematical modelling study
TLDR
A set of population-wide and individual strategies for prevention and control of cardiovascular disease that are inexpensive and cost effective in low resource settings are identified.
Which Interventions Offer Best Value for Money in Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease?
TLDR
There is huge potential for improving efficiency in cardiovascular disease prevention in Australia and a tougher approach from Government to mandating limits on salt in processed foods and reducing excessive statin prices, and a shift away from lifestyle counselling to more efficient absolute risk-based prescription of preventive drugs, could cut health care costs while improving population health.
Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Screening for and Managing Identified Hypertension for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention in Vietnam
TLDR
Screening for hypertension has a high probability of being cost-effective in preventing CVD and integrating screening for hypertension into routine medical examination and related coverage by health insurance could be recommended.
Cost effective interventions for the prevention of cardiovascular disease in low and middle income countries: a systematic review
TLDR
While more studies of cardiovascular preventive interventions are needed in low and mid income settings, a wide range of interventions for the prevention of cardiovascular disease as being cost effective across all world regions are supported.
Primary and secondary prevention interventions for cardiovascular disease in low-income and middle-income countries: a systematic review of economic evaluations
BackgroundCardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of deaths globally, with greatest premature mortality in the low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). Many of these countries, especially…
Recent Economic Evaluations of Interventions to Prevent Cardiovascular Disease by Reducing Sodium Intake
TLDR
Although better data on the cost of interventions are needed for rigorous economic evaluations, population-wide sodium intake reduction can be a promising approach for containing the growing health and economic burden associated with hypertension and its sequelae.

Generalized cost-effectiveness analysis of a package of interventions to reduce cardiovascular disease in Buenos Aires, Argentina
TLDR
Against a threshold of average per capita income in Argentina, the two selected population-based interventions (lowering salt intake and health education through mass-media campaigns) plus the modified polypill strategy targeting people with a 20% or greater risk were cost-effective.

Generalized cost-effectiveness analysis for national-level priority-setting in the health sector
TLDR
Generalized CEA sets out to overcome a number of barriers to the appropriate use of cost-effectiveness information at the regional and country level and serves as a starting point for additional analyses of the trade-off between the efficiency of interventions in producing health and their impact on other key outcomes such as reducing inequalities and improving the health of the poor.

Effect of Antihypertensive Drug Treatment on Cardiovascular Outcomes in Women and Men
TLDR
The two main objectives of the current study are to quantify the average treatment effect in each sex separately and to determine whether treatment effect differs significantly between women and men and to provide more evidence on the effects of antihypertensive treatment in women.
Development of WHO guidelines on generalized cost-effectiveness analysis.
TLDR
The proposed framework allows the identification of current allocative inefficiencies as well as opportunities presented by new interventions to provide general information on the relative costs and health benefits of different interventions in the absence of various highly local decision constraints.
A randomized trial on sodium reduction in two developing countries
TLDR
This study suggests that the efficacy of sodium reduction in developing countries equals those noted in more affluent cultures and could be used to treat persons with established hypertension, and more importantly, to prevent age-related increases in BP in poor communities.
