ISHLT leadership is proud to endorse the 2026 Middle East Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Conference, which will be held 6-7 November, 2026 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
Presented by the Middle East Heart Academy, ME‑AHFT 2026 is the region's premier educational forum dedicated to the latest advances in advanced heart failure, cardiogenic shock, mechanical circulatory support, and heart and lung transplantation. The conference brings together regional and international experts to share evidence-based practices, emerging technologies, and multidisciplinary approaches that improve outcomes for patients with advanced heart and lung disease.
Designed for the entire advanced heart failure and transplant care team, the conference welcomes cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, anesthesiologists, critical care specialists, transplant physicians, pulmonologists, immunologists, perfusionists, transplant coordinators, pharmacists, nurses, and allied healthcare professionals involved in the care of these complex patients.
The scientific program follows the patient across the full continuum of care, from cardiogenic shock and temporary mechanical circulatory support, through durable LVAD therapy, to heart and lung transplantation, post-transplant care, and long-term outcomes.
