2023 ESC Guidelines for the management of cardiomyopathies
This is a new guideline, not an update of existing guidelines, with the exception of the section on hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), in which we have provided a focused update to the 2014 ESC Guidelines on diagnosis and management of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. As such, most of the recommendations in this guideline are new. It is beyond the scope of this guideline to provide detailed descriptions and recommendations for each individual cardiomyopathy phenotype; instead, the aim is to provide a guide to the diagnostic approach to cardiomyopathies, highlight general evaluation and management issues, and signpost the reader to the relevant evidence base for the recommendations.
