It defined the most effective combination of symptoms, signs and investigations required to establish a diagnosis of heart failure, and those which would influence therapy or provide important prognostic information. It also gave guidance on the treatment, monitoring and support of patients with heart failure.

A partial update of the existing NICE guideline is necessary to ensure that the recommendations take into account the new evidence available
