An echocardiogram is recommended if HF is suspected or newly diagnosed.

Sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors decrease the risk of HF hospitalisation in patients with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Blood pressure and lipid lowering decrease the risk of developing HF.

Additional considerations are presented as practice points.
