Guidelines endorsement by National Cardiac Societies 

Endorsement and translation information

We invite you to read through the Guidelines and decide if your National Cardiac Society would like to officially endorse them. If your answer is affirmative, please fill in the online endorsement form. You can fill out an endorsement form for any of the Guidelines.

If you have problems with the online form, please use the PDFs below and then return by email to the Guidelines team at the European Heart House. 

Official endorsements from your National Cardiac Society will be acknowledged on the ESC website unless otherwise requested by you. 

Translated versions

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

If you are planning to translate the ESC 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 Guidelines, Pocket Guidelines and  Guidelines Slide-sets by ESC National Societies.

When your translation is finalized, 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.
