HFA Clinical Trials in Heart Failure Course 2022

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.

Randomised clinical trials are our major source of evidence for the management of the patients with heart failure and therefore the basis of our clinical research. Understanding their rationale, organisation, analysis and results may improve clinical practice and guide clinical research for the next generation of heart failure specialists. 

Young clinicians and researchers will benefit from the unique atmosphere of this course. They will come away with 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 clinical trials in heart failure between HFA Board Members, key opinion leaders, principal investigators in major clinical trials, and young clinicians or future heart failure specialists. Participants are expected to attend the entire meeting.
