📷 Trajectories of HF.
An individual’s HF journey starts left to right, and quality of life or exercise capacity and prognosis become poor as HF stage advances. Every stage carries certain risk of sudden death.
Looking forward to Co-Chairing this exciting Think Tank on HF prevention with the incomparable @JavedButler1
The DCRI and @CVCTForum have launched "Pathway to Prevention," an initiative to build regulatory and clinical pathways for cardiovascular prevention therapies. Three programs + multiple stakeholders = closing the gap between science and policy. dcri.org/news/dcri-cvct-laun…
#Prevention

ALT A partnership announcement graphic from the Duke Clinical Research Institute and CVCT introducing the "Pathway to Prevention" initiative. The headline reads: "Closing the gap between cardiovascular science and policy." Three program pillars are displayed in separate panels: Pathway to Approval (Regulatory) — building the evidentiary and regulatory framework for prevention indications; Pathway to Access (Payer) — demonstrating economic value and supporting coverage and reimbursement decisions; and Pathway to Adoption (Implementation) — demonstrating long-term value to patients, providers, and payers. The DCRI and CVCT logos appear at the bottom.

“What brought you to heart failure?”
In this special episode, six HFSA past presidents share the defining moments, mentors, and clinical experiences that shaped their careers — from hemodynamics and early HF trials to transformative ICU care. Their reflections offer a rare look at how leaders in our field found purpose and direction.

A true legend. Hugely influential on the careers of so many
Today is the 16th Anniversary of the passing of a @hopkinsheart & @BrighamWomens 🫀leader & legendary figure Dr. Ken Baughman. Many of us consider him to be pivotal in our career paths. We miss KLB greatly.

Whether you're a primary care doc, hospitalist, NP, PA, pharmacist, or general cardiologist—you play a role in optimizing heart failure care.
HFSA’s OMT-HF Certificate Program equips you with practical skills to deliver GDMT with confidence.
As one study showed: clinicians across disciplines felt more competent and comfortable after completing the course.

30 years ago, the #heartfailure specialty had no home.
Today, HFSA is the professional society for the full multidisciplinary team—from cardiologists to nurses, pharmacists, and researchers. Watch how it all began.
