Abstract		Chronic heart failure (CHF) is associated with a high burden of mortality and morbidity and is the leading principal hospital diagnosis among older adults. The heart failure patients are often misdiagnosed and not treated by effective medications. The European Society of Cardiology guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of CHF, were developed to provide clinicians with practical, evidence-based guidance on the optimal management of patients with this condition. The guidelines have recentlybeen updated to incorporate diagnostic, safety, and efficacy data from large-scale clinical trials that were not available for the development of earlier guidance documents. This article discusses pharmacological strategies for the management of CHF.
Summary		Kronično srčno popuščanje (KSP) povzroča veliko umrljivost in obolevnost in je glavni vzrok hospitalizacij med starimi ljudmi. Pogoste so napačne diagnoze in nezadostno zdravljenje z učinkovitimi zdravili. Smernice Evropskega združenja za kardiologijo za diagnozo in zdravljenje KSP nudijo kliniku praktična, z dokazi podprta navodila o optimalnem zdravljenju bolnikov s KSP. Smernice so nedavno posodobili, upoštevajoč izsledke novih velikih kliničnih raziskav. V prispevku prikazujemo novosti na področju farmakološkega zdravljenja v posodobljenih smernicah v primerjavi s predhodnimi.
