The Heart Failure – Diagnosis and Management guideline is available for External Review until January 12, 2023.

The guideline provides recommendations for the diagnosis and management of people aged ≥ 19 years with suspected or confirmed heart failure in the primary care setting. It focuses primarily on chronic ambulatory heart failure. The revised guideline provides new recommendations on medication titration. Given that heart failure is associated with reduced life expectancy, advanced care planning and palliative care are also addressed in his revised version of the guideline.

Please visit the BC Guidelines External Review page to download the draft guideline and submit your feedback via our online questionnaire.

Patient and family partners should not be a check box on research proposals! They need to be involved right from the start. I know patient and family partners are doing their part by providing their knowledge to researchers from their lived experience.  It’s a win-win for us to work together through PVN to make sure our input drives improvements.
