Heart Failure 2027, organised by the Heart Failure Association (HFA) of the European Society of Cardiology, takes place from 22 to 25 May 2027 in London, United Kingdom, and runs as a hybrid congress with both on-site and online participation. The congress theme is "Integration of new therapies and innovation, guided by quality of care and compassion", and the ESC describes the meeting as the world's leading event for the global heart failure community.
The congress is built for a multidisciplinary audience: cardiologists, heart failure specialists, researchers, nurses, allied professionals and industry partners advancing the field together. Its programme traditionally combines late-breaking clinical trials and registry results with guideline implementation sessions, imaging and device therapy updates, advanced heart failure and transplantation content, cardiomyopathy and comorbidity management, and dedicated nursing and allied professional tracks — alongside clinical case sessions and practical how-to teaching that translate directly into ward and clinic practice.
Heart Failure 2027 and its scientific programme are led by an announced leadership team: Professor Marco Metra (HFA Past President 2026–2028), Professor Wilfried Mullens (HFA President 2026–2028), Professor Gianluigi Savarese (HFA President-Elect 2026–2028), Doctor Klaus Witte (Heart Failure 2027 Scientific Programme Chairperson) and Professor Theresa McDonagh (Scientific Programme Co-Chairperson).
Key published dates include a late-breaking science submission window and two registration fee deadlines: early registration fees close on 23 March 2027 and late registration fees on 22 April 2027, after which on-site rates apply. HFA membership brings savings on congress registration, access to HFA congress resources and webinars on ESC 365, and entry to the HFA Members Lounge during the meeting.
For heart failure teams in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf — where heart failure admissions, device therapy programmes and guideline-directed medical therapy optimisation are growing priorities — this congress is one of the highest-yield international meetings of the year, and the hybrid format allows departments to follow the science without releasing an entire team for travel. Full programme, abstract and registration details are published on the official ESC congress page.
