The conference was devoted to one of the most important conditions in cardiology — chronic heart failure, which is detected in approximately 1-2% of the total population. Chronic heart failure is considered as the outcome of many diseases, and not only cardiovascular ones, it makes a significant contribution to the structure of morbidity, mortality and disability of the population and requires concerted, coordinated actions of physicians of various specialties.

The development of teamwork in this direction is extremely necessary and will significantly improve the diagnosis and treatment of patients with this pathology.
