Abstract
In the Asia-Pacific region, heart failure (HF) is associated with significant health and socioeconomic burden. Given the differences in the epidemiology of HF, as well as the availability of healthcare resources between Asian and Western countries, an Asian Pacific Society of Cardiology (APSC) working group developed consensus recommendations on the management of chronic HF in the Asia-Pacific region. The APSC expert panel reviewed and appraised the available evidence using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system. Consensus recommendations were developed and put to an online vote. Consensus was reached when 80% of votes for a given recommendation were either ‘agree’ or ‘neutral’. The resulting statements provide guidance on the diagnosis, assessment and treatment of patients with HF with reduced, mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction in the Asia-Pacific region.
