Key Highlights
- ESC guidelines cover various cardiology domains since 1994.
- Only 15.5% of recommendations in ESC guidelines are supported by level of evidence A.
- Citation-network tools can evaluate research-to-guideline pathways.
- Over 80% of basic research studies are not cited in clinical research articles.
- The study examines the citation rates of cardiovascular research in guideline updates.

Research output does not consistently translate into higher-tier evidence in guidelines.
Clinical Best Practices
- Utilize citation-network analysis to assess research impact on guidelines.
- Encourage incorporation of higher-tier evidence in clinical recommendations.
- Regularly update guidelines to reflect the latest research findings.
