Abstract

The incidence and prevalence of chronic heart failure (CHF) increase with age. In the second edition of the National Disease Management Guidelines (NVL) on CHF, published in August 2017, geriatric aspects are specifically addressed. The paper provides an overview of the recommendations by the guidelines on drug therapy, device therapy and operative therapy as well on the coordination of care focusing on older and multimorbid patients.

Keywords: Guideline; Heart failure; Multimorbidity; Older patients; Polypharmacy.
