Mission

The HFA Committee on Acute and Advanced Heart Failure promotes, coordinates and overlooks study and research on the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis and management of Acute and Advanced Heart Failure in order to improve patients outcomes

In order to achieve the above, the committee has recognized the importance

consulting non-cardiologists involved in the management of acute heart failure (internists, intensive-care specialists, emergency medicine physicians, anesthesiologists, general physicians…).
building a relationship between different health-care professionals involved in the management of acute heart failure (nurses, pharmacists, hospital administrators, …).
