This course is supported by Novo Nordisk and AstraZeneca in the form of an unrestricted financial support. The scientific programme has not been influenced in any way by its sponsors.
The HFA believes that through interaction, 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 and researchers. Young clinicians and researchers 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 whole meeting.
