New Challenges in the Management of Heart Failure: Meet the Experts
Overview
This online clinical academic event will focus on recent advances in the management of heart failure. The event consists of two online webinars on consecutive days of approximately 2 hours in duration each.
As the focus of the programme is on practical management of heart failure, the webinar sessions will be based on exemplary clinical cases and guideline recommendations to provide the attendees with up to date expert opinion on the different aspects of pharmacological treatment of heart failure.
All Faculty members are experts of international calibre with extensive clinical and research networks worldwide. Most of them have contributed to the development of national and international management guidelines.
