Guidelines aim to present all the relevant evidence on a particular clinical issue in order to help physicians to weigh the benefits and risks of a particular diagnostic or therapeutic procedure. They should be helpful in everyday clinical medical decision-making. The BSC aims at facilitating the endorsement and implementation of new ESC guidelines in daily clinical practise.

In order to increase awareness of the new ESC guidelines, a summary of the guidelines are made by Belgian experts in the field. These summaries highlight the most important recommendations and changes in the management of cardiovascular diseases.
