“…Conversely, developed countries like Ireland reported a lower economic burden (USD 243.9 million) [ 47 ] than Malaysia because the Irish population is significantly lower than Malaysia [ 48 ] and hence lesser people living with HF. Although Brazil has a higher GDP than Malaysia [ 49 ], the HF economic burden of Brazil (USD 420.3 million) [ 50 ] was lower than Malaysia because the study was conducted two decades ago. Advancement in the treatment of HF, including device therapy and newer pharmacology therapy, which are more expensive, has increased the healthcare cost of managing HF.…”

“…The current study estimated the economic burden of HF in Malaysia using cost data calculated from the bottom-up approach [ 25 ]. Unlike other studies in which the costs were derived from insurance claims [ 13 , 45 ] and hospital casemix database [ 50 ], the bottom-up approach can segregate the costs according to disease severities and other categories because detailed data was collected from each patient [ 51 ]. The current study reports the economic burden by HF phenotypes (categories using LVEF) and age groups, which enables the decision-makers to identify the main cost components and hence design policies to curb the huge economic burden of HF in Malaysia.…”

Background Estimating and evaluating the economic burden of HF and its impact on the public healthcare system is necessary for devising improved treatment plans in the future. The present study aimed to determine the economic impact of HF on the public healthcare system. Method The annual cost of HF per patient was estimated using unweighted average and inverse probability weighting (IPW). Unweight average estimated the annual cost by considering all observed cases regardless of the availability of all the cost data, while IPW calculated the cost by weighting against inverse probability. The economic burden of HF was estimated for different HF phenotypes and age categories at the population level from the public healthcare system perspective. Results The mean (standard deviation) annual costs per patient calculated using unweighted average and IPW were USD 5,123 (USD 3,262) and USD 5,217 (USD 3,317), respectively. The cost of HF estimated using two different approaches did not differ significantly (p = 0.865). The estimated cost burden of HF in Malaysia was USD 481.9 million (range: USD 31.7 million– 1,213.2 million) per year, which accounts for 1.05% (range: 0.07%–2.66%) of total health expenditure in 2021. The cost of managing patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) accounted for 61.1% of the total financial burden of HF in Malaysia. The annual cost burden increased from USD 2.8 million for patients aged 20–29 to USD 142.1 million for those aged 60–69. The cost of managing HF in patients aged 50–79 years contributed 74.1% of the total financial burden of HF in Malaysia. Conclusion A large portion of the financial burden of HF in Malaysia is driven by inpatient costs and HFrEF patients. Long-term survival of HF patients leads to an increase in the prevalence of HF, inevitably increasing the financial burden of HF.

“…The increase in heart failure prevalence has brought about high social and economic costs besides high morbid-mortality for patients with this disease [1]. Functional capacity limitation, commonly associated with reduced quality of life and poor prognosis, is a hallmark of the syndrome [2].…”

No Brasil, conforme dados publicados pelo Ministério da Saúde, a IC encontra-se entre as principais causas de internação do Sistema Único de Saúde (Albanesi Filho, 2005).…”
