The HFA believes that through this course, novel and promising concepts for the understanding and treatment of heart failure can be developed at the crossroads of experienced experts, trialists, and young enthusiastic clinicians. Young clinicians will benefit from the unique atmosphere, through new ideas, mentoring and motivation to follow an even more enthusiastic career in clinical science in the field of heart failure.
The event is an opportunity for intellectual interaction regarding the heart failure landscape between key opinion leaders (KOLs), principal investigators in major clinical trials, and young clinicians or future heart failure specialists. Participants are expected to attend the entire meeting.
In the context of the current COVID-19 pandemic, which the HFA is monitoring, the course may need to be adapted accordingly. The HFA will inform participants if the format should change. We are committed to offering continuing medical education during these challenging times.
