#HeartFailureWeekCan

The Canadian Heart Failure Society (CHFS), an affiliate of the Canadian Cardiovascular Society, is hosting the 2nd Canadian Heart Failure Awareness Week. Heart failure (HF) is gaining attention across Canada and throughout the world as more people are living with HF. CHFS has taken steps to engage health care providers in raising awareness about new and current standards of practice, summarized in the Canadian Cardiovascular Society HF Guidelines, to improve care for patients living with HF. As part of this effort, CHFS has partnered with six Canadian organizations to create an annual national campaign to promote HF awareness among health care professionals, patients and their families.
