As you may know, Paris has been a pioneer city in the emergence and development of the management and research on arterial hypertension and cardiovascular disorders in Europe and has hosted the successful 14th ESH Meeting in 2004. ThescientificprogrammecontinuesthetraditionofthepreviousESH/ISHmeetingsandincludes: Originalresearchwithoralandposterpresentations State-of-the-Art Lectures Plenary Sessions Joint Sessions with other Societies Debates Topical Workshops Breakfast Seminars Meet-the-Expert Sessions Clinical Cases Training Session in new techniques Satellite Symposia organised by industry Themeetingcoversalargeareaofknowledgeinthefieldnotonlyofhypertensionbutalsoofother cardiovascular and metabolic disorders related to hypertension. We deem to pay a particular attention to new technologies, such as innovative devices, new communicating tools and biological “omics” research. The presence of opinion leaders and experts from all around the world shall ensure the success of the meeting. We expect a large number of investigators, researchers, specialist physicians and general practitioners from all parts of Europe, but also a special attendance from French speaking countries from other parts of the world. The meeting is held in Paris, “Ville Lumière”, one of the world’s most attractive destinations. The Palais des Congrès is located in the west part of the city, close to the Champs-Elysées and the Arc de Triomphe within walking distance from numerous hotels. It is also a well-known location for shows, concerts and stores. Participants should be able to enjoy the beauty of Paris, either before or after the meeting, as well as the rest of France.
