The HFSA Lifetime Achievement Award honors one or more individuals whose career-long contributions have profoundly advanced the field of heart failure. This award recognizes sustained excellence in clinical care, research, education, and leadership, celebrating a legacy that has shaped and inspired the heart failure community.

The award will be made based on the recipient’s contributions as follows:

Evaluation of nominees and selection of the recipient will be chosen by a majority vote of the Awards Committee and submitted to the HFSA Board of Directors for approval.

Each Nomination should consist of:

2. Copy of an up-to-date curriculum vitae (including publications)

Nominations may only be made by HFSA members in good standing. Self-nominations will not be accepted.
