Fig. 2 a. Distribution of incremental costs versus incremental outcomes for CRT versus medical therapy. Solid line indicates a willingness to pay threshold of £30,000/QALY. b. Cost-effectiveness acceptability curves for CRT versus medical therapy. The descending curve represents medical therapy and the ascending curve CRT.
