2025 HFSA Annual Scientific Meeting OnDemand
Program Overview
The 2025 HFSA Annual Scientific Meeting OnDemand includes recordings of the scientific sessions presented during the HFSA Annual Scientific Meeting 2025. Learners can view these recorded presentations to enhance their knowledge and stay up to date on the latest advances in heart failure care, treatment, research, and more.

Learning Highlights
  • Access 50+ expert-led sessions covering every major advancement in heart failure care—from AI and digital health to novel devices, LVAD management, and cardio-oncology.
  • Earn CME, NCPD, CPE, and ABIM MOC credits across multidisciplinary topics designed for the entire heart failure care team.
  • Catch the plenaries you missed, including 30 Years of HFSA and Late-Breaking Clinical Research sessions featuring cutting-edge therapies and future directions.
  • Learn from real-world cases and rapid-fire updates packed with practical insights for immediate application in clinical practice.
  • Watch anytime, anywhere—revisit sessions, pause, and learn at your own pace with on-demand streaming and downloadable materials.
Target Audience
This educational activity, developed from HFSA’s Annual Scientific Meeting, is intended for physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, scientists, and other health care professionals who specialize in or have an interest in heart failure.
Accreditation Statement



In support of improving patient care, The Heart Failure Society of America is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.

Learning Objectives
Following this activity, participants will be better able to:

  1. Describe the epidemiology of HF and strategies for the prevention of HF.
  2. Discuss the current scientific understanding of HF from the perspectives of cardiovascular physiology, neurohormones, molecular biology, and genetics.
  3. Describe the findings of basic science research and recent clinical trials and describe their implications for current and future HF therapy.   Implement guideline-based therapy for HF, including pharmacologic agents and non-pharmacologic options such as diet, exercise, and implantable devices.
  4. Manage comorbidities including hypertension, diabetes, depression, sleep apnea, and obesity.
  5. Demonstrate awareness of psychosocial, economic, regulatory, and ethical issues in the treatment of patients with HF.
  6. Explain the patient, provider, and system-related factors that contribute to racial and ethnic health disparities.
  7. Implement strategies for effective management of the patient with HF, incorporating the family, encouraging self-care, and employing the team approach.
  8. Outline strategies for transitioning patients from inpatient to outpatient care and for reducing hospital readmissions.
  9. Engage in performance measurement and site-based research.
Specific learning objectives for each of the scientific sessions and are listed in the session description in the on-demand product.
