AB  - The European Society of Cardiology updated its guidelines on the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic heart failure in May 2012 [McMurray JJV et al. Eur Heart J 2012]. Updates to the guidelines include recommendations for new medical therapies and recognition of the growing use of ventricular assist devices; research continues in both of these areas to identify optimal management. In addition, efforts continue to address the best approach to patient monitoring.
