INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF HEART 
     FAILURE AWARDS

The International Society of Heart Failure has established five awards to honor the memory of distinguished colleagues who made a major contribution to Medicine and Cardiology and who were members of the faculty for previous Heart Failure meetings. As in previous years, the recipients were selected by a very prestigious Awards Committee. The awards for 2000 will be presented at the opening ceremony of the Congress.
