The study estimates the impacts of new major cardiovascular events on quality of life and hospital care costs in contemporary patients with well‐managed secondary cardiovascular disease from the perspectives of the UK and US health systems.In the year of event occurrence, nonhemorrhagic stroke, heart failure admission, and noncoronary revascularization were associated with the largest reductions in quality of life, whereas no quality of life reductions were observed for myocardial infarction and coronary revascularization.Coronary and noncoronary revascularization procedures were associated with the largest additional hospital costs.
