Abstract: In August 2021, the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) published the 2021 ESC Guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic heart failure. The new guidelines provide detailed information on the concept, classification, management process, pharmacological treatment and quality indicators of heart failure, and provide the latest evidence-based recommendations for clinical work. The article provides a nursing perspective on the management strategy of heart failure in the new guideline, focusing on three aspects: nursing model, nursing key points and multidisciplinary team management. It is expected to provide a basis for the establishment and update of nursing guidelines, standardize and improve the specialized nursing in patients with heart failure, in order to provide evidence-based guidance for clinical nursing practice.

Key words: heart failure; self-management; multidisciplinary team; guideline; nursing
