Heart Failure 2025

In 2025, your Heart Failure congress will be held in the bustling city of Belgrade at the Sava Centar that has been recently renovated to outstanding standards with top-class equipment and facilities.

The HFA is proud of the tremendous success achieved in previous congresses and is currently working to bring you an amazing scientific gathering.

Likewise in the previous years, interactivity, dynamism, and top science are the major features.

The programme will include world-renowned experts from all continents, addressing not only heart failure, but also imaging, electrophysiology, and interventional cardiology.

The most important updates in the latest science will reveal the results from the latest clinical trials and registries, shown during several Late-Breaking Science sessions.

Heart Failure 2025 will highlight interactivity, clinical cases, how-to, and hands-on experience.

More than 80 scientific sessions will take place in Belgrade, with an extremely comprehensive and didactic programme featuring international experts.

The young community's growing interest in heart failure has led to a great representation at the congress.

A dedicated track with sessions of interest will complement other young community events as well as career guidance from the leading experts.

After the success of last years edition, Heart Failure 2025 once again featured a lecture room devoted exclusively to interactive sessions and focusing on Clinical Cases and How-To sessions.

Heart Failure is the leading and largest educational event in heart failure world-wide.

It is not only an excellent opportunity for scientific exchange, but also a unique chance for networking among academy, hospitals, and companies for the best of heart failure patients.

We encourage you to take part by submitting an abstract and clinical case and register early for best savings.
