Indian Heart Journal. 2018 Jan; 70(1): 105-1270019-4832http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/191749Heart failure is a common clinical syndrome and a global health priority. The burden of heart failure is increasing at an alarming rate worldwide as well as in India. Heart failure not only increases the risk of mortality, morbidity and worsens the patient’s quality of life, but also puts a huge burden on the overall healthcare system. The management of heart failure has evolved over the years with the advent of new drugs and devices. This document has been developed with an objective to provide standard management guidance and simple heart failure algorithms to aid Indian clinicians in their daily practice. It would also inform the clinicians on the latest evidence in heart failure and provide guidance to recognize and diagnose chronic heart failure early and optimize management.Heart failureHFChronic heart failureCHFManagement standardsAlgorithmsProtocolsPractice guidanceIndiaTreatmentDiagnosisDrugsDevicesJournal ArticleIndiaDepartment of Cardiology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, 110029, IndiaDepartment of Cardiology, Fortis Hospital, Shalimar Bagh, New Delhi, 110088, IndiaDepartment of Cardiology, PRS Hospital, Thiruvananthapuram, 695002, IndiaDepartment of Clinical and Preventive Cardiology, Medanta − The Medicity, Gurugram, Haryana, 122001, IndiaDepartment of Cardiology, Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology, Thiruvananthapuram, 695011, IndiaDepartment of Cardiology, Medical College, Kolkata, 700073, IndiaDepartment of Cardiology, Vivekananda Institute of Medical Sciences, Kolkata, 70026, IndiaDepartment of Cardiology, King George's Medical University, Ludhiana, Uttar Pradesh, 226003, IndiaHeart Failure Subspecialty, Cardiological Society of India, Kolkata, IndiaDepartment of Cardiology, Institute of Post Graduate Medical Education & Research and Memorial Hospital, Kolkata, 700020, IndiaDepartment of Cardiology, Ruby Hall Clinic, Pune, 411001, IndiaCardiological Society of India, Kolkata, India
