| Popis: | The newly available clinical guidelines in heart failure (HF) from Europe (2012), the United States (2010 and 2013), and Canada (2015) were compared, focusing on the systems for grading the evidence and classifying the recommendations, HF definitions, pharmacologic treatment, and devices used in HF. Some gaps were evident in the methodology for assessing evidence or in HF definitions. Pharmacologic treatments and recommendations for cardiac resynchronization therapy and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators are similar but some differences need to be considered by the practicing clinician. Guideline recommendations regarding new emergent treatments are becoming available. |
