Draft guidance consultation

You can now review and comment on this draft guideline.

The consultation closes on Tuesday 08 July 2025 at 5pm.

In line with NICE’s commitment to incorporate technology appraisals (TAs) within guidelines we have incorporated the following TAs: 

  • Empagliflozin for treating chronic heart failure with preserved or mildly reduced ejection fraction (2023) (TA929) 
  • Dapagliflozin for treating chronic heart failure with preserved or mildly reduced ejection fraction (2023) (TA902) 
  • Implantable cardioverter defibrillators and cardiac resynchronisation therapy for arrhythmias and heart failure (2014) (TA314) 
  • Ivabradine for treating chronic heart failure (2012) (TA267)

The following TAs have not been incorporated into this guideline update because this update positions these medicines in a different part of the treatment pathway to that recommended in the TAs: 

  • Empagliflozin for treating chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (2022) (TA773) 
  • Dapagliflozin for treating chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (2021) (TA679) 
  • Sacubitril valsartan for treating symptomatic chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (2016) (TA388) 

However, the status of the TAs remains unchanged.  NICE is currently engaging with an advisory Stakeholder Panel to inform development of our approach to incorporation.
