Abstract
The "2025 AHA/ACC Statement on Cost/Value Methodology in Clinical Practice Guidelines (Update From 2014 Statement)" describes a systematic approach for consistent implementation of "economic value statements" across ACC/AHA guidelines. It updates the cost-effectiveness threshold and proposes a new level of certainty framework that summarizes the strength of the available evidence. Additionally, it describes how cost-effectiveness analyses (CEAs) can help advance equity in population cardiovascular health.
