All ESC Clinical Practice Guidelines are available for translation. You can apply using the online form.

If you are planning to translate the guidelines documents into your national language, we also encourage you to adapt them to your national policies. Please inform the ESC if you do this. We invite you to read: rules for translation of the ESC Clinical Practice Guidelines, Pocket Guidelines and  Guidelines slide-sets by ESC National Societies.

When your translation is finalised, the President or Vice-President of your National Cardiac Society must certify that the translation is correct. Please use this letter template and send it with the translation to the ESC.
