Abstract
16th British Society for Heart Failure Annual Autumn Meeting
The 16th Annual Meeting for the British Society for Heart Failure took place in the impressive surroundings of the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre in Westminster (London, UK). Over the two-day conference, more than 700 delegates attended – the largest number to date. Over 40 talks were delivered by some of the world's experts in heart failure. For 2013, the theme was making sense of acute heart failure – a clinical entity which is frequently encountered, poorly understood, and for which there exists virtually no evidence base for treatment.
