• Involve the audience by giving the participants more opportunities to interact : Case based Interactive sessions and more sessions featuring panel discussions in which the audience is welcome to participate

• Expand the knowledge to new fields (cancer, telemedicine...) , new horizons (joint sessions with the Heart Failure Society of America, the Brazilian Society of Cardiology, the Russian Working Group on Heart Failure) and other specialities (the European Commission of Health, the European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA),The European Association of Echocardiography (EAE)

The Heart Failure 2010 Congressis accredited by the European Board for Accreditation in Cardiology (EBAC) for 18 hours of External CME credits. Each participant should claim only those hours of credit that have actually been spent in the educational activity.


EBAC works in cooperation with the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME) which is an institution of the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS).

EBAC credits are recognised by the American Medical Association towards the Physician’s Recognition Award (PRA). Detailed instructions for converting these credits to AMA PRA Category 1 Credits are available on the AMA website.
