Chairpersons: Alain COHEN-SOLAL, Paris, FRA - Adrian VOORS, Groningen, NED Background: The ESC-HFA chronic and acute heart failure guidelines have recently been published. However, the challenge for guidelines does not cease with a consensus document. Practical implementation is the critical step in establishing higher standards of care for individual patients. Improved guideline uptake is not only an index of better standards but a validation of the process of guideline production. Improving consensus between guidelines is also important, differences in recommendations may act as a barrier to guideline. The NICE CHF guidance was updated in 2010, and it is not likely to be revised in short term. Practice differs from the guideline recommendations. Registries suggest differences in guideline interpretation and treatment/management of CHF between different stakeholders. Similarities and differences exist between GPs and hospital physicians’ approaches to management of CHF. One important issue that is not covered by the current guidelines is the class effect issue. Canadian and Australian CHF guideline and 2010 NICE guideline name eplerenone as preferred drug in heart failure, ESC mentions only mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs.) as a class. How to interpret compound vs. class effects while following guideline recommendations is an important issue. Cost-effectiveness is a key not only to the content of guidelines but also in the assessment of implementation. Limits on healthcare resources mandate that resource-allocation decisions be guided by considerations of cost in relation to expected benefits. In cost-effectiveness analysis, the ratio of net healthcare costs to net health benefits provides an index by which priorities may be set. Aims: This multidisciplinary consensus workshop aims at discussing CHF guideline implementation issues and the consequences on defining the place of MRA/eplerenone in management of CHF.
