ESC Clinical Practice Guidelines endorsed by your National Society
2021 ESC Guidelines on Cardiovascular Disease Prevention in Clinical Practice
The present guidelines have been developed to support healthcare professionals in their efforts to reduce the burden of ASCVD in both individual patients, as well as at a population level.
2021 ESC Guidelines on cardiac pacing and cardiac resynchronization therapy
The 2021 ESC Guidelines redefine cardiac pacing – covering CRT, His and left bundle branch pacing, advanced diagnostics, risk reduction, remote monitoring, and shared decision-making for better patient care.
2021 ESC Guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic heart failure
The aim of this ESC guideline is to help health professionals manage people with heart failure (HF) according to the best available evidence. Fortunately, we now have a wealth of clinical trials to help us select the best management to improve the outcomes for people with HF; for many, it is now both preventable and treatable.
The Role of Endomyocardial Biopsy in the Management of Cardiovascular Disease Guidelines
Endomyocardial biopsy remains a debated tool in cardiovascular care. The latest guidelines clarify when EMB adds diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic value—balancing benefits against procedural risks.
