Research Article: Direct economic burden of acute coronary syndromes in the Portuguese National Health Service—facts and trends between 2002 and 2022

Date Published: 2025-03-18

Abstract:
Aim: We estimated the average direct cost per Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS) in-patient episodes by diagnosis, namely ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), unstable angina (UA), and undetermined AMI (Acute Myocardial Infarction). We also analyzed the changes in direct costs over time between 2002 and 2022, and the total direct economic burden of ACS hospitalizations for the Portuguese National Health Service (NHS).
