1. Overview
The Complete Conference Management 30th Annual Heart Failure 2026 program provides a highly specialized, comprehensive review of advanced heart failure management. The curriculum covers the latest innovations in pharmacotherapy, device therapy, genetic testing, and complex clinical scenarios—such as cardiogenic shock, myocarditis, and peripartum cardiomyopathy—equipping cardiovascular specialists to optimize patient outcomes across diverse etiologies.
Course Date: March 13 & 14, 2026
The 30th Annual Heart Failure 2026: An Update on Therapy continues the tradition of providing a comprehensive update on the prevention, diagnosis, and management of heart failure. The program includes lectures presented by experts combined with an opportunity for interactive discussion with faculty. The extensive list of topics has been selected to provide high level and clinically relevant updates on the contemporary approach for the prevention and management of acute and chronic heart failure with the goal of improving clinicians’ knowledge and the care of patients with heart failure of various etiologies.
Once again in 2026, the symposium will be a hybrid event – attend in-person at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel or online!
2. Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Provide comprehensive updates on the management of cardiovascular conditions, including new guidelines for hypertension, therapeutic options for hyperlipidemia, and contemporary approaches to heart failure with reduced and preserved ejection fraction.
- Review advanced treatment strategies for complex cardiovascular scenarios, including acute decompensated heart failure, heart failure with kidney disease, atrial fibrillation in heart failure patients, and catheter-based interventions for valvular heart disease.
- Discuss specialized management approaches for specific cardiovascular conditions, including heart failure due to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and amyloidosis, obesity in heart failure patients, and pulmonary arterial hypertension.
3. Target Audience
Best for cardiologists, advanced heart failure specialists, and intensivists who want updates on GDMT, cardiogenic shock, and cardiomyopathy management.
The program has been designed to provide cardiologists, internists, primary care physicians, pharmacists, nurses and other healthcare providers with the necessary information to increase knowledge with the goal of improving the care of patients with HF.
