Abstract

This article focuses on a study to establish the cost effectiveness of nurse led secondary prevention clinics for coronary heart disease based on four years' follow up of a randomised controlled trial. 1343 patients aged under 80 years with a diagnosis of coronary heart disease but without terminal illness or dementia participated in the study. Nurse led clinics for the secondary prevention of coronary heart disease in primary care seem to be cost effective compared with most interventions in health care, with the main gains in life years saved.
