Comentarios a la guía de práctica clínica de la ESC para el tratamiento de las enfermedades cardiovasculares durante el embarazo. Una visión crítica desde la cardiología española

doi: 10.1016/j.rec.2011.12.002 Along the lines of the new philosophy regarding clinical practice guidelines established by the Executive Committee of the Sociedad Española de Cardiología (SEC: Spanish Society of Cardiology), described and explained in an article recently published in Revista Española de Cardiología (REC),1 a document has been drafted to provide the framework for the discussion of the most important and novel aspects of the guidelines for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases during pregnancy, issued by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and endorsed by other European scientific societies.2 In the Spanish cardiology setting, the clinical practice recommendations concerning the subject of heart disease and pregnancy were set forth in the document “Guías de práctica clínica de la Sociedad Española de Cardiología en la gestante con cardiopatía” (Practice Guidelines of the Spanish Society of Cardiology for the Management of Cardiac Disease in Pregnancy), published in 2000,3 and the Sociedad Española de Ginecología y Obstetricia (Spanish Society of Gynecology and Obstetrics) designed a protocol for heart diseases and pregnancy (available at www.prosego.com). More recently, valuable contributions have appeared in our scientific literature,4,5 but there has been a need for an update of guidelines encompassing the body of knowledge that has been consolidated over the past decade.
