This indicator covers the percentage of patients with a current diagnosis of heart failure due to left ventricular systolic dysfunction, who are currently treated with a beta-blocker licensed for heart failure. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as NM173
This indicator covers the percentage of patients with heart failure on the register, who had a review in the preceding 12 months, including an assessment of functional capacity (using the New York Heart Association classification) and a review of medication. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as NM174
This indicator covers the percentage of patients with a diagnosis of heart failure after (start date) which has been confirmed by an echocardiogram or by specialist assessment between 3 months before or 3 months after entering on to the register. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as NM171
This indicator covers the percentage of patients with a current diagnosis of heart failure due to left ventricular systolic dysfunction, who are currently treated with an ACE-I or ARB. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as NM172
Cardiac contractility modulation device implantation for heart failure (IPG655)
Evidence-based recommendations on cardiac contractility modulation device implantation for heart failure in adults. This involves placing a device under the skin of the chest, which delivers electrical pulses to make the heart contract more strongly.

This guideline covers diagnosing and managing atrial fibrillation in adults. It includes guidance on providing the best care and treatment for people with atrial fibrillation, including assessing and managing risks of stroke and bleeding.
Evidence-based recommendations on artificial heart implantation as a bridge to transplantation for end-stage refractory biventricular heart failure. This involves replacing the 2 lower chambers of the heart with a mechanical device to improve circulation until heart transplantation.

This indicator covers admission rates due to heart failure in people with diabetes. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as CCG61
Permanent His-bundle pacemaker implantation for treating heart failure (IPG694)
Evidence-based recommendations on permanent His-bundle pacemaker implantation for treating heart failure. This involves attaching a wire connected to a pacemaker to the heart’s electrical conduction pathway (through a vein).

This indicator covers the percentage of patients with heart failure diagnosed within the preceding 15 months with a record of an offer of referral for an exercise-based rehabilitation programme. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as NM48
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for acute heart failure in adults (IPG482)
Evidence-based recommendations on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for acute heart failure in adults. This involves using an artificial lung to oxygenate the blood outside the body.

Heart failure: mortality within 12 months of admission (IND8)
This indicator covers all-cause mortality within 12 months following a first emergency admission to hospital for heart failure. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as CCG11
This guideline covers the early and longer-term (rehabilitation) management of acute coronary syndromes. These include ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and unstable angina. The guideline aims to improve survival and quality of life for people who have a heart attack or unstable angina.
