Welcome Message from the Chairperson of Council

It is our pleasure to announce that The Heart Failure Seoul 2024 (HF Seoul 2024) will be held from Thursday, November 21st to Saturday, November 23rd, 2024 at the Grand Intercontinental Seoul Parnas Hotel in the central area, Gangnam-Gu, Seoul. We are excited to bring you the HF Seoul 2024 Scientific Meeting, which provide the best heart failure science, basic/clinical research, nursing, practical management, social network opportunities, and interaction with heart failure specialists.

Last year, we held the HF Seoul 2023 under the theme "inspire you to KSHF" to Kindle HF science, Stimulate HF management, Harmonize HF team, Facilitate HF outcomes, as a face-to-face meeting after long struggle of COVID-19 pandemic. It was wonderful to reunite during the event covering the whole spectrum of heart failure. For four days, we experienced exceptional science, fantastic discussions and most importantly, the opportunity for this very special community to be together again. Especially, the first CTC Asia, a collaborative project with HFA-ESC was a great opportunity for the young HF specialist in Asia to expand their capability on designing and performing clinical trials.

the HF Seoul 2024 Scientific Meeting has prepared and organized wide spectrum of sessions, including recent HF device therapy, TTR-CA treatment, Heart transplantation, Electrical therapy in HF, LVAD, New drugs in HF, obesity and HF, etc. We will invite associated societies such as oncology, cardiac intervention, echocardiography, arrhythmia, thoracic surgery, pulmonary hypertension society, vascular society, advance HF society, digital medicine, genetics, etc. to enhance multidiscipline approach and develop innovating ideas. During the meeting, we have plenary sessions, symposiums, special lectures by distinguished researchers from overseas, and joint symposiums with other societies from domestic and overseas. I guarantee this meeting has well-organized content that covers the whole field of HF. The interest of the young community in heart failure has been growing and we are building special sessions with young future HF specialist (HOPE) to meet their needs and interests (Boot camp, Meet the expert).

As always, the success of the HF Seoul 2024 Scientific Meeting would not be possible without your participation, dedication and serious effort. The KHFA is proud of the success achieved in previous years' scientific meeting and is currently working to bring you an amazing scientific meeting in 2024.

We look forward to seeing you again this year in Gangnam, Seoul, from 21 to 23 Nov. 2024.
