European Meeting on Hypertension and Cardiovascular Protection 2013

The 23rd scientific meeting of the European Society of Hypertension (ESH) on “Hypertension and Cardiovascular Protection”, which will be held in Milan on June 14-17 2013.

In line with the previous ESH meetings a large portion of the scientific programme will be devoted to presentations of abstracts on original scientific data, with a selection made via the assessment of several expert European reviewers. This is justified by the large amount of research on hypertension and related cardiovascular diseases which goes on in Europe, as well as elsewhere in the world, and finds its appropriate forum in the European Hypertension Meetings. In the recent ESH meeting in London almost 2.000 abstracts were received.

The scientific programme will also include: 1) State-of-the-Art Lectures, Debates, Round Tables and scientific Sessions, organized by the ESH Working Groups to expose participants to views on issues of current scientific and practical interest by the many top opinion leaders who attend the ESH meetings

2) Educational sessions on the epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of conditions (diabetes, dyslipidaemias, atrial fibrillation etc) common in hypertension, organized also in cooperation with other learned scientific Societies and 3) “Teaching”,“How-to” , “Meet the expert” and “Clinical case” sessions organized in a way that allows attendees to interact with the Experts and take home valuable advice for daily medical practice. An important contribution to the research and educational aspects of the meeting will also be given by Satellites organized by the Industry, which will provide participants with in-depth information on progress in drug and other innovative types of hypertensive patient management, either in the uncomplicated phase and when, as it unfortunately often happens, high blood pressure coexists with other cardiovascular risk factors and diseases. Specific educational events will be held for Hypertension Speciali
