ESC Guidelines Desk Reference 2011

The ESC is committed to reduce the burden of cardiovascular diseases in Europe and therefore considers that the development of Practice Guidelines is a strategic step to achieve this goal. The ESC Pocket Guidelines are a concise summary of the fundamental recommendations made in the parent guidelines documents. These pocket guidelines are highly appreciated by medical professionals and have become an important guidelines dissemination tool. It is with great pleasure that the European Society of Cardiology presents the new ESC Guidelines Compendium, a compilation of all ESC Pocket Guidelines titles published by the ESC.

The Committee selects the Task Force Members ensuring the recruitment of leading scientific experts in each field and the participation of representatives from ESC Working Groups, Associations and Councils.
