Figure 3 The impact of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) test price (base case $32) on the cost-effectiveness (C-E) of screening with BNP followed by echocardiography is shown. At all BNP costs up to $100, screening men with BNP followed by echocardiography costs <$35,000 per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) gained compared to not screening. Circles = men; squares = women.
