Preface for the Joint Proceedings of the High Blood Pressure Research 2011 Scientific Sessions and the Inter-American Society of Hypertension Meeting

摘要

As program chairs of the 2011 High Blood Pressure Research Scientific Sessions sponsored by the American Heart Association Councils for High Blood Pressure Research and Kidney in Cardiovascular Disease and the Inter-American Society of Hypertension (IASH), we are pleased to report that the meeting was an outstanding success. The conference was held on September 20 to 24 at the Walt Disney World Dolphin Resort in Orlando, Florida. A very special aspect of this year's meeting was that, for the first time, it was cosponsored and co-organized by IASH. The program committees were combined, and the conference was organized as a fully integrated meeting with the overall important theme, "Bridging Basic and Translational Hypertension Research in the Americas."
