Methodological quality of ESC/AHA clinical practice guidelines of heart failure across the last two decades: a systematic critical appraisal using the AGREE II Tool.

The article systematically appraises the methodological quality of Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) for heart failure (HF) published by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and the American Heart Association (AHA) over the past two decades, using the AGREE II tool. The research, conducted by the CONCEPT-HF group, evaluates the evolution of these guidelines' quality to determine improvements in areas like rigor, stakeholder involvement, and clarity.
