Preparing for the next 25 years
Opening the meeting, BSH Chair Professor Roy Gardner (University of Glasgow) spoke about the BSH‘s aim to reduce HF mortality by 25% in 25 years, which would need the bringing together of all stakeholders to improve:
Prevention strategies
Identifying those at risk
Early accurate diagnosis
Appropriate treatment
In his speech, he encouraged us to be more ambitious for further progress, to raise awareness of HF, and to educate more widely to achieve further progress and benefit more patients.
