[en] During the ESC congress in September 2020, the new ESC guidelines were presented and are available on the ESC website. The new guidelines describe management recommendations on following cardiovascular diseases: non-STE ACS, adult congenital heart disease, sports cardiology and atrial fibrillation. The present document gives a summary of these guidelines and highlights the most important recommendations and changes in the management of these diseases. It will help to increase awareness about the new guidelines and may stimulate to consult the full document for specific items. Ultimately, the authors hope that this document will enhance implementation of new ESC guidelines in daily clinical practice.
