Key result
A literature review was conducted to inform the development of appropriateness criteria for cardiovascular imaging across common heart failure clinical scenarios.
This report summarizes the literature review performed to inform the ESC/EACVI appropriateness criteria for cardiovascular imaging in heart failure.

May guide imaging selection in heart failure scenarios; leaves open prospective validation of criteria impact on outcomes.
The Imaging Task Force appointed by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI) identified the need to develop appropriateness criteria for the use of cardiovascular imaging in heart failure as a result of continuously increasing demand for imaging in diagnosis, definition of aetiology, follow-up, and treatment planning. This article presents the report of literature review performed in order to inform the process of definition of clinical indications and to aid the decisions of the appropriateness criteria voting panel. The report is structured according to identified common heart failure clinical scenarios.
