Cost effectiveness of zofenopril in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction after acute myocardial infarction: a post- hoc analysis of th…

BACKGROUND: In SMILE-4 (the Survival of Myocardial Infarction Long-term Evaluation 4 study), zofenopril + acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) was superior to ramipril + ASA in reducing the occurrence of major cardiovascular events in patients with left ventricular dysfunction following acute myocardial infarction. The present post hoc analysis was performed to compare the cost-effectiveness of zofenopril and ramipril. METHODS: In total, 771 patients with left ventricular dysfunction and acute myocardial infarction were randomized in a double-blind manner to receive zofenopril 60 mg/day (n = 389) or ramipril 10 mg/day (n = 382) + ASA 100 mg/day and were followed up for one year. The primary study end…

Objective: The Survival of Myocardial Infarction Long-term Evaluation 4 Study (SMILE-4) showed the superiority of Zofenopril (Z) associated with Acetylsalicylic Acid (ASA) as respect to Ramipril (R) plus ASA in reducing the occurrence of major cardiovascular events, in patients with left ventricular dysfunction (LVD) following Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI). The objective of this retrospective analysis was the evaluation of cost-effectiveness of Z compared to R. Methods: 771 patients with LVD and AMI were randomized, double-blind to Z 60 mg/day (n=389) or R 10 mg/day (n=382) plus ASA 100 mg/day and followed-up for 1 year. The primary study end-point was 1-year combined occurrence of deat…
