title: Practical issues across the lifetime of heart failure.
abstract: Over the past 10-20 years there have been major changes in the management of heart failure, based on a robust evidence base from randomized clinical trials. This has led to improved outcome for patients but prognosis is still poor. Some of the challenges to provision of evidence-based care and new developments in heart failure therapy were discussed at the 2010 Annual Meeting of the British Society for Heart Failure. The conference theme was 'Practical issues across the lifetime of heart failure', with the 2-day conference covering a broad range of topics from diagnosis to end-of-life care.
