Wide perspective on heart failure research, treatment and care

Heart Failure Congress is an exciting and wonderful experience for researchers and clinicians aiming to improve their science and quality of care for their patients. My main motivation to submit an abstract was the great opportunity given by this congress to reach a prestigious international audience. Very few congresses give such a wide perspective on heart failure research, treatment and care.

I submitted my abstract in order to display results of my clinical research. Presenting a poster is a great opportunity to interact with colleagues from all over the world during coffee breaks in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
