It is my pleasure to invite you to the third edition of Heart Failure Care, From Bench to Beat.
Over the past years, this symposium has evolved into a forum where scientific innovation, clinical excellence, and technological vision come together to redefine what is possible in advanced heart failure therapy.

This year’s program highlights the accelerating convergence of regenerative science, organ engineering, artificial intelligence, and next-generation mechanical support systems. These developments are not only reshaping treatment pathways but are fundamentally altering how we understand and manage the failing heart.
Our goal remains clear: to bring together international leading experts who challenge established paradigms, translate discovery into clinical impact, and address the ethical and scientific questions that accompany rapid innovation.
We look forward to welcoming you in Zurich for a focused, inspiring exchange that continues to push the boundaries of heart failure care.
