Heart Failure 2026

Heart Failure 2026 is where you become part of the evolution in heart failure care.

Hosted by the Heart Failure Association of the ESC, the congress drives progress across prevention, diagnosis, and treatment — turning discovery into impact and redefining care worldwide.

Next May in Barcelona, explore a forward-looking agenda focused on prevention, precision diagnosis, breakthrough therapies, novel devices, and digital health — all improving patient outcomes globally.

Through interactive debates, real-world cases, and hands-on sessions, you’ll go beyond observing progress — you’ll be part of it.

Whether you're early in your career or a seasoned expert, this is your moment to grow with the science, guided by leaders and inspired by peers.

Join us in a city where ancient beauty meets cutting-edge science — the perfect setting to share ideas, spark collaborations, and shape the future of heart failure care.

Be part of the evolution.
