Access event page
"The HFA Winter Meeting is the premier meeting for basic translational science in Europe, the excellence of which is recognised internationally. The organisers need to be congratulated on maintaining such uncompromising high standards over many years and for providing the young (and not-so-young) generation of scientists and clinician scientists with a fantastic opportunity to learn about the latest (unpublished) discoveries, participate in lively scholarly discussions, and network with the best scientists in the field. There is no doubt in my mind that HFA Winter Meeting is amongst the very best initiatives fostered by the ESC family and a model for future developments." Prof. Barbara CasadeiESC President

What makes this meeting unique is a blend of cutting-edge basic science with state-of-the-art translational and clinical knowledge, aiming at further improving heart failure treatment.
Abstract presenters will have received an email. To see your abstract results, you can check online.
The Winter Meeting took place in the charming town of Les Diablerets, Switzerland.
The HFA provided free transportation to and from Geneva airport, as well as hotel accommodation, meals and conference facilities for all selected abstract presenters.
Abstract presenters were advised of their acceptance in early November 2019.
A Young Investigator Award poster competition was held on site with prizes for first place, plus two runners-up.
The Guido Tarone Award was awarded to the highest scoring abstract and the winner was invited to speak during one of the sessions.
"The HFA Winter Meeting is a great opportunity for young researchers to meet the experts in the field of basic and translational heart failure science. Although the meeting is European, it also integrates US faculty so the opinions are not exclusive. The relaxed and friendly atmosphere makes the experts more approachable, thus paving the way for an exchange of ideas and many collaborations. The programme is excellent and incorporates an interesting outlook into clinical science."
