Dear participants and esteemed colleagues,

It is our pleasure to invite you to the MasterCourse in Heart Failure, which will take place in Baku from May 30 to June 1, 2025. Organized under the auspices of the London Heart House and Zurich Heart House, this course is designed for physicians seeking to enhance their knowledge and skills in heart failure management.

Heart failure remains one of the most pressing challenges in modern medicine. Recent scientific and clinical advancements have significantly transformed patient care. MasterCourse in Heart Failure – Baku 2025 will cover a comprehensive spectrum, from early diagnosis to the management of advanced heart failure, focusing on pharmacotherapy, device therapy, multimodality imaging, lifestyle interventions, and patient-centered care.

The course is structured to be highly interactive and practice-oriented. In addition to lectures, panel discussions, and interactive case-based learning, participants will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in Right Heart Catheterization and Transesophageal Echocardiography during our “Hands-on” and “Simulator Sessions”. Furthermore, the latest advancements in remote patient monitoring and digital health applications in heart failure management will be discussed.

With the participation of internationally renowned experts, including Thomas F. Lüscher, Mandeep Mehra, Theresa McDonagh, Petar Seferovic, Cecilia Linde, and others, this course offers a unique opportunity to acquire knowledge and skills that can be immediately applied in daily clinical practice.
