The 15th Annual CHFR Symposium on Heart Failure was arranged by Center for Heart Failure Research between September 20 and September 22, 2017. 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.
Moderated poster sessions was hosted by NORHEART. Pictures and more information about the poster sessions are provided here.
