Health Economics Review, 2015, vol. 5, issue 1, 1-11

Abstract: MI, unstable angina, HF, stroke and PAD have a high financial impact on the German health care system. Treatment costs of these diseases are mostly incurred during the acute phase of events and tend to decrease over time. Hospitalization and rehabilitation costs were two major cost drivers. Medication costs was one of the smallest cost component reported. Copyright Schmid. 2015
