It gives me great pleasure to invite your attendance at the 4th Asian Pacific Congress of Heart Failure in Melbourne, Australia.

With the tremendous recent advances in the management of heart failure, there is a clear need for high-level scientific congresses to keep cardiologists, physicians, nursing and paramedical staff as well as researchers abreast of the latest scientific information in the field.

Accordingly, the theme for the 4th Asian Pacific Congress of Heart Failure is “3D” – Drugs, Devices and Diagnostics.

We do hope you will be able to join us in Melbourne for this exciting Congress. It is also an exciting time of year for the city, with many cultural and sporting activities and brilliant summer weather.

We look forward to seeing you at the 4th Asian Pacific Congress of Heart Failure.
