Heart failure is the most common nonfatal sequel of various cardiovascular disorders and the only major heart disease the burden of which is significantly increasing worldwide.

Even though the causes and the prevalence of heart failure are dissimilar in different societies, the consequences are quite comparable, and actually unpleasant, round the world. Much research has been done to better elucidate the causes, clinical features, and complications of heart failure, all of which have led to significant improvement in therapeutic interventions and therefore longevity and life quality of heart failure patients.

Given the very positive outlook of the First International Iranian Heart Failure Summit in 2007 and the experience we have gained, we are very delighted to march all our sources to hold the Second International Heart Failure Summit and we are trying to do our best to have an even more fruitful summit, compared to the previous one.

We will appreciate any and all supports from the academic and scientific bodies, national and international scientists and experts, all other healthcare stakeholders and those who care to prevent even a single heart from stopping to beat, to hold this summit in the best way possible.

We are looking forward to meeting you in the summit and we hope you will find it worthwhile and enjoyable.
