The 17th Annual CHFR Symposium on Heart Research was arranged by Center for Heart Failure Research between September 18 and September 20, 2019. The Annual Symposium is an important opportunity for Norwegian scientists to meet with international scientists at the forefront of their field in an informal atmosphere. Below are some pictures from this year’s Symposium, as well as some brief information on the speakers and topics.
