(PRESS RELEASE) SOPHIA ANTIPOLIS, 5-May-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — Heart Failure 2025, the world’s premier congress on heart failure, is set to take place from May 17 to 20 at the newly renovated Sava Centar in Belgrade, Serbia. Organized by the Heart Failure Association (HFA) of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), this event is expected to attract thousands of healthcare professionals from across the globe, offering them a unique opportunity to engage with the latest advancements in heart failure research, diagnosis, and patient care.

“Heart failure affects over 60 million people worldwide, and in its advanced stages, it remains more deadly than many cancers,” said Professors Arsen Ristic and Petar Seferovic, Co-Chairs of the Congress Programme Committee. “As the global population continues to age, the prevalence of heart failure is increasing. However, recent years have seen significant progress in our understanding and treatment of the condition, which offers hope for improved patient outcomes.”

The congress will feature over 80 scientific sessions, including more Late-Breaking Science sessions than ever before. Participants will gain access to the latest findings from clinical trials and breakthroughs in heart failure treatment, including advancements in interventions, devices, and innovative therapies. In addition to traditional lecture-based sessions, the congress will incorporate hands-on experiences, clinical case studies, and inspirational presentations from leading experts from around the world.

Immersive Learning Experience

A key highlight of Heart Failure 2025 is the introduction of a new “Immersive room,” which will bring imaging and interventional sessions to life. In this space, video presentations will be projected across all walls, creating an interactive learning experience that enhances the engagement and understanding of complex medical procedures.

Furthermore, a special track has been created for the HFA Young community, fostering the development of the next generation of heart failure specialists. This initiative will support young researchers and clinicians in their pursuit of excellence in heart failure care.
