N2 - Due to population ageing, the number of older and frail patients with cardiovascular disease is increasing. In the current guidelines of the European Society of Cardiology specific recommendations for this older population are missing or scarce, probably due to limited evidence concerning diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease in older patients. Moreover, recommendations on shared decision making, palliative care and advanced care planning are also essential in these guidelines. In this article we evaluate the current European of Society of Cardiology guidelines (2013–2020) to determine whether specific recommendations for older patients have been included.
