Our mission: to reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease in Europe
 

Heart Failure Association (HFA)

To improve quality of life and longevity, through better prevention, diagnosis and treatment of heart failure, including the establishment of networks for its management, education and research.

The Heart Failure Association of the European Society of Cardiology (HFA) welcomes ALL practicing Cardiologists and Physicians involved in the management of patients with heart failure, Basic Scientists, Nurses, Industry Representatives, and European Policy Makers, with a special interest in heart Failure.

The HFA was founded to create a broad European platform, where anybody interested or actively involved in managing the growing burden of heart failure can meet, interact and network.
