The Heart Failure Summit is a multidisciplinary conference dedicated to advancing cardiovascular health and improving patient outcomes. This full-day program brings together physicians, advanced practice providers, nurses, researchers, trainees, and other healthcare professionals to explore the unique cardiovascular risks and conditions—from prevention and early detection to advanced heart disease. Through expert-led presentations and multidisciplinary discussion, attendees will examine emerging evidence, clinical challenges, and collaborative approaches to recognizing cardiovascular risk earlier, improving diagnosis, and delivering comprehensive, patient-centered care. This year's topics will span the continuum of women’s cardiovascular care, including hypertension, diabetes, menopause, polycystic ovarian syndrome, autoimmune disease, cancer-related cardiovascular risk, genetics, pregnancy-related cardiovascular disease, peripartum cardiomyopathy, spontaneous coronary artery dissection, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in pregnancy, cardiogenic shock, and other unique risk factors for cardiovascular disease in women.
