Draft paediatric addendum on the CHMP guideline on clinical investigation of medicinal products for the treatment of acute heart failure
This is an addendum to the 'Guideline on clinical investigation of medicinal products in the treatment of acute heart failure' (CHMP/EWP/2986/03 Rev. 1). It is not meant as a guidance document on its own but rather highlights differences from adult patients with Acute Heart Failure (AHF) and points out paediatric-specific aspects.

Concept paper on the need for a paediatric addendum to the guideline on clinical investigation of medicinal products for the treatment of acute heart failure
The CHMP guideline on the clinical investigations of medicinal products for the treatment of Acute Heart
Failure (AHF) addresses the development issues in this specific patient population but is restricted to
adults. Acute Heart Failure Syndromes (AHFS) represent a very heterogeneous group of patients. In
children the diagnosis of AHF has different aetiologies, different pathophysiology and clinical
presentations.
