BETTER UNDERSTAND THE HEART FAILURE GUIDELINES PROCESS AND ITS IMPLICATIONS

AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET A PANEL OF INTERNATIONAL EXPERTS IN HEART FAILURE
Why attend a Guidelines
Forum on heart failure?
The quality of research and development efforts made by manufacturers of pharmacological agents, biomarkers, and medical devices has obviously had a major impact on the position of these products in clinical guidelines on the management of heart failure.
Conversely, the release of new guidelines may be a source of inspiration for further research and development. And, ultimately, guidelines really shape clinical practice if doctors and their patients adopt them.
A better understanding of the processes involved in guidelines development will help companies that develop drugs, biomarkers, and devices to adapt and improve their research and development programmes for the future.
This could also translate into earlier and more efficient development of diagnostic and therapeutic tools for patients.
Why may guidelines of geographically distinct origins but dealing with the same evidence occasionally reach different conclusions? What should be done to avoid that guidelines being lost in translation? How can we adapt the guidelines for low and middle income countries?
Speakers and discussants who will address these topics have been selected from among the top-level European, North American and international experts in cardiology who participate in the regular update of guidelines. The faculty also comprises clinicians with a strong interest in translational and patient-centered medicine.
The Heart Failure Guidelines Close Forum will be strictly academic – meaning that attendees will not participate during the main sessions and discussions. However, they will be able to transmit written questions to the faculty.
Who should attend ?
Attendees include industry representatives with interest in clinical trials, product development, market access, guidelines development and implementation, patients’ advocacy specialists, clinical research organizations and payers.

WHY ATTEND THE HFGF?
Guidelines increasingly shape clinical practice. Their development and implementation is a critical issue for all stakeholders interested in better patients outcomes.
A better understanding of the processes involved in guidelines development will help companies that develop drugs, biomarkers, and devices to adapt and improve their research and development programmes for the future.
This could also translate into earlier and more efficient development of diagnostic and therapeutic tools for patients.
PRACTICAL DISCUSSIONS
How do guideliners deal with the available evidence and what are their expectations in this respect? What criteria must a product or an intervention meet to be recommended by heart failure guidelines? What are the most frequent reasons for failure? Why may guidelines of geographically distinct origins but dealing with the same evidence occasionally reach different conclusions? What should be done to avoid that guidelines being lost in translation? How can we adapt the guidelines for low and middle income countries?
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
- Better understand the guideline development process.
- Review the latest scienfific evidence regarding drugs, devices and biomarkers
- Analyse the latest hot topics regarding guidelines and their implications in clinical practice.
