Invitation

Dear Colleagues,

We are thrilled to announce the Master Course in Heart Failure Sofia, which will be held from 19–21 November 2026 at the Grand Hotel Millennium Sofia.

The Master Course has been conceived on the initiative of cardiologists from Bulgaria and neighboring countries who aim to advance clinical practice in heart failure. The Course will provide education at the highest level, covering both the fundamental principles and the complex, multidisciplinary challenges that a modern heart failure specialist needs to master.

The overall goal of the Course is to emphasize the importance of managing heart failure patients within a multidisciplinary framework, prioritizing comprehensive care and enabling participants to implement the acquired expertise in their local heart failure clinics.

Continuous education for cardiologists and healthcare professionals is essential to ensure the effective management of patients with heart failure.

This Master Course is held under the auspices of the Bulgarian Society of Cardiology. The teaching faculty will include leading specialists from Europe, the United States and Bulgaria.

We look forward with great anticipation to seeing you in Sofia this November!

Yours sincerely,
