Treatment of AH with D, C and A is cost effective compared with the no-intervention scenario. Diuretics are the most cost-effective first-line treatment. The scenario with beta-blockers resulted in additional QALY when compared with no intervention, but also additional costs; therefore, based on our results, this therapy would not be recommended as first-line treatment.
