Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to invite you to the 4th European Training Symposium (ETS) on Advanced Heart Failure Therapies, taking place in Hannover, Germany, June 18–20, 2026.

Advanced and end-stage heart failure therapies, including mechanical circulatory support (MCS) and heart transplantation (HTx). With limited donor organs and rapid technological advances, innovative approaches such as gene therapy are shaping future treatment strategies.

Key Topics:

• Patient selection for medical vs. device therapies
• Indications for MCS and HTx
• Current & emerging MCS technologies
• Optimal timing for surgery
• Management of right heart function
• Anticoagulation strategies
• Interdisciplinary insights 
  (material science, robotics)

We look forward to welcoming you to an interactive, multidisciplinary exchange with international experts on the future of heart failure treatment.
