Acute Heart Failure

An ACVC Study Group

The Acute Heart Failure study group was created in order to effectively complement and supplement other activities of the ACVC as well as those of several other important entities such as the Heart Failure Association and the GREAT network.

Composition of the study group

Aims

  • To promote acute heart failure as one of the main acute cardiovascular diseases
  • To highlight unmet needs in care for acute heart failure
