Inside the meeting
From the conference spaces to the session rooms, a look at the setting for Heart Failure in Focus 2026.
Contemporary heart failure care
The scientific programme explored acute heart failure, advanced therapies and iron deficiency, alongside the role of artificial intelligence and digital health. Clinical cases and treatment strategies connected these subjects with the questions encountered in everyday care.
Sessions also addressed heart failure in special populations, including cardiomyopathy, HFpEF with obesity, myocarditis, amyloid cardiomyopathy and cardio-oncology. Together, these topics reflected the range of clinical challenges discussed during the meeting.
Bringing the science
into practice
Practical learning complemented the scientific sessions.
An interactive, hands-on workshop gave the programme a practical dimension alongside the lectures and clinical discussions. The event photographs show the echocardiography workshop setting and equipment used during the meeting.
Prof. Abdulla Shehab and Prof. Giuseppe Rosano were featured in the official event communication, with contributions from colleagues across the regional cardiovascular community.
The people behind the meeting
The conference also brought colleagues together beyond the sessions. These group photographs preserve some of the shared moments from Dubai.
