早期死亡和死亡前几年生活质量下降是与心血管疾病相关的最重要的健康结局。心血管状态的其他指标，包括血压、射血分数和心电图（ECG）异常，仅因其已知与不良健康结局相关而受到关注。生活质量指标作为心血管疾病研究的结果变量越来越受到关注。本文综述了目前几种评估健康结果的方法。一个一般的卫生政策模型提供了一种方法，用于比较心血管疾病，可能有非常不同的目标方案。从高血压筛查和治疗的评价，心脏移植计划，心脏病的一级预防的例子提供。还讨论了衡量替代程序的成本/效用的方法。
Early mortality and reduced quality of life in the years prior to death are the most important health outcomes associated with cardiovascular disease. Other measures of cardiovascular status, including blood pressure, ejection fraction, and electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities, are only of interest because of their known association with poor health outcomes. Quality of life measures have gained increasing attention as outcome variables in studies of cardiovascular disease. This article reviews several current approaches to the assessment of health outcomes. A general health policy model is offered as a method for comparing program options in cardiovascular disease that may have very different objectives. Examples taken from the evaluation of hypertension screening and treatment, of heart transplantation programs, and of primary prevention of heart disease are offered. Methods for measuring the cost/utility of alternative procedures are also discussed.
