Overview
This symposium emphasises the critical role of accurate and rapid diagnosis in enabling physicians to quickly start guideline-directed medical therapy. Prof Antoni Bayés-Genís (University Hospital Germans Trias i Pujol, Barcelona, ES), Dr Lisa Anderson (St George's Hospital, London, UK) and Dr Stephen Greene (Duke University School of Medicine, Durham, US) discuss and reflect on current guidelines and emerging algorithms, offering insights into the challenges surrounding delays and adoption rates in both community and hospital settings and their profound impact on patient care.
Presented, and recorded, at HFA 2024 in Lisbon, PT

Faculty Biographies
Antoni Bayés-Genís
Head of the Cardiology Department
Antoni Bayés-Genís is Head of the Heart Institute at the University Hospital Germans Trias i Pujol in Barcelona, and Professor of Cardiology at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona in Barcelona, Spain.
Prof Bayés-Genís is an expert on biomarker, including natriuretic peptides ST2 and neprilysin, having lectured on the subject at numerous international meetings and generated research data that were later included in clinical guidelines.
His research is focused in two main areas, one more clinical and another basic-translational. From the clinical standpoint, he is interested in precision medicine in heart failure, biomarkers, sudden death, devices, new treatment options and epidemiology. At the basic-translational level, he focuses on novel regenerative approaches to rejuvenate the heart, including tissue engineering and cell-derived products.
Prof Bayés-Genís is past President of the Catalan Society of Cardiology, past Editor of Revista Española de Cardiología,…

Stephen J Greene
Assistant Professor, Division of Cardiology
Dr Greene is a cardiologist with a clinical and research interest in improving quality of care and outcomes for patients with heart failure. He has been a co-investigator and co-author of multiple national and international heart failure trials studying medical therapies for heart failure. He has also served on leadership committees and led multiple analyses from national and international heart failure registries characterising the quality of heart failure care. Dr Greene’s collaborative work has led to more than 350 publications in peer-reviewed journals.
