What our attendees say
Participating in the HFA Winter Meeting on Translational Heart Failure Research is a unique opportunity to:
- Develop a global network by discussing our findings with experts in the cardiovascular field.
- Meet investigators from around the world presenting cutting-edge research on the latest advances in topics related to heart failure.
- Gain visibility and feedback on our research. The size of the meeting allows experts in the field of cardiovascular research to see our work, and dedicated viewing times are planned for discussion with faculties and attendees. The poster sessions allow us to speak one-on-one with people interested in our research. Presenters benefit from this interaction by gaining feedback on projects.
- Be recognised. Young researchers meeting certain criteria are eligible to participate in the Poster Award Competition.

The HFA Winter Meeting through the years
The HFA Winter Meeting on Translational Heart Failure Research has been a long-standing tradition and has emerged as the best basic and translational heart failure meeting in Europe.
The tradition started in 1983, initiated by Professor Dirk Brutsaert (founding president of the Heart Failure Association of the ESC, 2004–2008), the first official meeting was chaired by Sir James Whyte Black, who developed the first b-blockers and was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1988.
