ESC Guidelines Publication Schedule

Clinical Practice Guidelines and Scientific Statements of the ESC are prepared by Task Forces. Task Forces are groups of cardiologists who meet upon request to deal with a particular problem in cardiology and form an ad hoc committee commissioned by the Committee for Practice Guidelines after approval by the ESC Board. The Clinical Practice Guidelines produced are published in the European Heart Journal on a regular basis.
