A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION FOR FURTHER RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
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.
- Design studies and plan analyses for future trials
