Ongoing Clinical Trial Forum:

Every year we provide a platform for organisers and sponsors of ongoing clinical trials in heart failure to advertise information about their trials to support finding new sites as well as to enhance patient recruitment and follow-up.
We invite you to come to the Clinical Trial Forum Area to find out more on  
  • The RESHAPE-HF Trial: A Randomized Study of the MitraClip Device in Heart Failure Patients with Clinically Significant Functional Mitral Regurgitation
  • NECTAR-HF: Neurocardiac Therapy for Heart Failure 
  • ATOMIC-HF: Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of IV Infusion Treatment With Omecamtiv Mecarbil in Subjects With Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction Hospitalized for Acute Heart Failure

These trials will be on display from Sunday until Tuesday and we ask the presenter to be available for discussion at each coffee break ..
