The Heart Failure Working Group of the Turkish Society of Cardiology (Türk Kardiyoloji Derneği) holds its 5th National Heart Failure Meeting at the Wyndham Grand İstanbul Levent from 11–13 September 2026. The meeting is the group's flagship national forum for clinicians managing acute and chronic heart failure, chaired by Prof. Dr. Hakkı Kaya, President of the TKD Heart Failure Working Group, under the presidency of Prof. Dr. Ertuğrul Okuyan of the Turkish Society of Cardiology.
Why this meeting matters
Heart failure remains one of cardiology's heaviest burdens: prevalence keeps climbing while morbidity and mortality stay stubbornly high. The organising committee has built the programme around that reality — a working update rather than a survey of the field.
Scientific programme
- Current diagnostic pathways in acute and chronic heart failure
- Guideline-directed medical therapy and how recommendations translate into Turkish practice
- Real-world registry and outcomes data
- Innovative and emerging treatment options, including device and advanced therapies
- Interactive sessions and moderated case discussions with experienced faculty
Abstracts and registration
- Abstract submission deadline: 13 July 2026
- Early registration deadline: 15 June 2026

- Certificates of attendance for all registered participants; the industry exhibition runs 08:00–18:30 across the meeting days
Who should attend
Cardiologists, cardiology residents and fellows, internal medicine specialists with a heart failure caseload, heart failure nurses and allied professionals in advanced heart failure and transplant programmes. The working language is Turkish.
