15^th World Heart Congress

Heart Failure and Cardiac Rehabilitation

Heart failure remains one of the most significant global cardiovascular challenges, affecting millions of individuals and contributing substantially to healthcare utilization, hospital admissions, and mortality. Advances in pharmacological therapy, device-based treatment, precision diagnostics, and multidisciplinary heart failure management have significantly improved survival and quality of life for affected patients. Comprehensive heart failure care involves accurate diagnosis, optimization of guideline-directed medical therapy, remote monitoring, patient education, nutritional support, psychosocial care, and coordinated follow-up. Cardiac rehabilitation further enhances recovery through supervised exercise programs, lifestyle modification, risk factor management, and behavioral counseling, enabling patients to regain functional capacity while reducing recurrent cardiovascular events.

This session will present the latest developments in heart failure diagnosis, advanced pharmacotherapies, ventricular assist devices, remote patient monitoring, rehabilitation strategies, multidisciplinary care models, and innovative approaches to chronic disease management. Researchers and clinicians will discuss emerging clinical trials, personalized treatment pathways, exercise prescription, digital health solutions, and quality improvement initiatives that optimize long-term patient outcomes. The session will also explore evolving international guidelines, integrated rehabilitation programs, and future innovations designed to improve functional recovery, reduce hospital readmissions, and enhance the overall quality of life for patients living with heart failure.
