The Scottish Intercollegiate Guideline Network (SIGN) has published five new guidelines covering several different aspects of cardiovascular disease.
The guidelines cover:
- Acute coronary syndromes
- Cardiac arrhythmias in coronary heart disease
- Management of chronic heart failure
- Management of stable angina
- Risk estimation and the prevention of cardiovascular disease
Action: Clinicians involved in the diagnosis and management of cardiovascular disease will find these guidelines to be a useful reference. They should be read in conjunction with any published NICE guidance on the same topic.
