Translating heart failure guidelines into clinical practice: clinical science and the art of medicine.

Abstract:

:The rapid growth of medical knowledge during the past few decades has created many potential advances in the therapeutics of chronic disease, and cardiovascular disease has been at the center of this phenomenon. Translation of these advances into everyday care of patients with chronic disease continues to be problematic. Guideline development has emerged as a major strategy to improve utilization of new and existing therapeutic modalities of proven benefit. To be effective, practice guidelines must not only clearly delineate which therapies are efficacious, but also consider the many practical aspects necessary for implementation of specific therapeutics in the actual care of patients. In this way, both the art and the science of medicine can be employed to obtain better patient outcomes in cardiovascular diseases long associated with severe mortality, morbidity, and poor quality of life. This review examines the difficulties inherent in translating new advances into standards of care. The recent guideline process for a specific chronic cardiovascular disease, heart failure, is used for illustration of the translation process.
