Abstract

In 1994, a Norwegian programme for diagnosis and treatment of chronic heart failure was published. Recently the American College of Cardiology, the American Heart Association and the Task Force on Heart Failure of the European Society of Cardiology have published similar guidelines. In this article, the Working Group on Heart Failure of the Norwegian Society of Cardiology presents an updated programme for evaluation and management of patients with chronic heart failure.
