Abstract

During the ESC congress in September 2019 in Paris, the new ESC guidelines were presented and are now available on the ESC website. The new guidelines describe management recommendations on following cardiovascular diseases: chronic coronary syndromes, acute pulmonary embolism, supraventricular tachycardia and dislipidaemias. The present document gives a summary of these guidelines and highlights the most important recommendations and changes in the management of these diseases. It will help to increase awareness about the new guidelines and may stimulate to consult the full document for specific items. Ultimately, the authors hope that this document will enhance implementation of new ESC guidelines in daily clinical practice.
