About

Dear Colleagues and Distinguished Participants,

We are pleased to invite you to the 5th Heart Failure Update Congress, organized by the Azerbaijan Society of Cardiology, to be held on June 12–13, 2026.

Heart failure remains one of the most significant and complex challenges in modern cardiology. In recent years, extensive scientific research, innovative diagnostic methods, and advances in treatment strategies have created new opportunities in patient management. In this context, the exchange of knowledge and experience, the adoption of international best practices, and the continuous improvement of local clinical approaches are of paramount importance.

The primary aim of this congress is to bring together the latest scientific developments, evidence-based approaches, and advanced clinical practices in the field of heart failure on a single platform, to promote scientific dialogue among specialists, and to foster future collaborations. The scientific sessions, panel discussions, and interactive presentations planned within the framework of the congress will provide participants with valuable opportunities to enhance both their theoretical knowledge and practical skills.

We are confident that the knowledge and experience gained during the congress will significantly contribute to your daily clinical practice and support the improvement of patient care.

Let us advance together in gaining new knowledge in heart failure!

Sincerely,

Assoc. Prof. Yasmin Rustamova

President
