Bridging Heart Failure Care: Recognizing Signs and Symptoms, Reducing Risks and Managing Connected Conditions
Heart Failure Awareness Week English Webinar 2026, presented by Heart & Stroke and HeartLife Foundation
Heart failure is a growing health challenge in Canada, with over 800,000 people currently living with the condition, and more than 130,000 new diagnoses each year. Heart failure places a significant burden on individuals, families, caregivers, and the healthcare system, and is the third leading cause of hospitalization in the country.
Aligned with Heart Failure Awareness Week (May 3rd–9th, 2026), this webinar—Bridging Heart Failure Care, will provide healthcare providers, people with lived experience, and caregivers with essential knowledge to recognize heart failure signs and symptoms, understand key risk factors, and appreciate how heart failure interacts with other conditions.
Participants will also receive a practical overview of the role of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT), including how evidence-based medications improve survival, reduce hospitalizations, and enhance quality of life. The presentation will highlight ongoing efforts across Canada to bridge unified heart failure care and bring awareness for those living with this increasingly common condition.
