Abstract
An early diagnosis, and hence treatment, of heart failure (HF) may have a major impact on health care resources and patients’ longevity and quality of life.1 The Heart Failure Association (HFA) of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) provided a clinical consensus statement addressed to general practitioners and to non-cardiology physicians to facilitate the early diagnosis of HF with a major role to screening strategies, including the measurement of brain natriuretic peptides (BNP).2
