Welcome from the Meeting President

Dear Colleagues,

I am inviting you to participate in an exciting opportunity to attend a meeting on Cardiovascular Risk and Cardiovascular Diseases. Hypertension is a key factor leading to arterial disease with its consequences on the brain, heart, kidney and other organs. While focusing on hypertension, ISH 2010 will be inclusive of diabetes mellitus, obesity, dyslipidemia and other factors that contribute to the development of the leading cause of death and disability in many countries and a growing cause of morbidity and mortality in many other countries.

ISH 2010 plans to have the highest level scientific meeting that will encompass the spectrum of molecular and cellular science, clinical medicine and population and health policy. It will permit basic scientists, clinicians and population health specialists to attend different streams and learn the latest information on cardiovascular biology and medicine through a cutting edge program. Regardless of your specific interest in the field, all health professionals interested in understanding managing and preventing cardiovascular disease will find the program enriching and educational.

An international meeting serves the function of bringing together people from around the world to permit an exchange of ideas to the lasting benefit of our countries.

Vancouver is a beautiful city surrounded by spectacular scenery. It is the site of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. Before and after the meeting, there are opportunities to cruise the ocean, visit mountains and enjoy the events around our city and country.

I know that you will enjoy the meeting. It will be a memorable event and I hope to see you in Vancouver September 26th to 30th, 2010.

Dr Simon Rabkin
President, ISH 2010 Executive Organizing Committee

We will do our best to present an exciting scientific program and extend our warmest hospitality to all the delegates and accompanying family members planning to attend. Please mark the dates in your calendar and spread the news.

Welcome from the International Society of Hypertension

It is with great pleasure that on behalf of the Executive Committee of the International Society of Hypertension, I invite you to the Biennial Meeting in 2010 of the Society which will be held in Vancouver, Canada. The meeting will extend beyond hypertension to look at global cardiovascular disease management and will comprise a combination of both clinical and basic research presentations as well as state of the art sessions on the modern management of cardiovascular risk reduction. The programme will be cutting edge and exciting and will allow all of us to sample the Canadian countryside and the unsurpassed hospitality of this area. The landscape is beautiful and unique and the meeting itself promises to bring together the world’s cardiovascular research community to debate, exchange data and address controversy.

I look forward to welcoming your active contribution to what we know will be a lively and outstanding meeting.

Dr. Anthony Heagerty
President, International Society of Hypertension
