Controversies and Advances in the Treatment of Cardiovascular Disease: The Twelfth in the Series

September 21–22, 2012 Beverly Hills, California

We are proud to be celebrating the twelfth annual Controversies and Advances in the Treatment of Cardiovascular Disease symposium this year! The two-day scientific program will offer realistic views on many controversial topics, inlcuding coronary artery and left main disease, atrial fibrillation, valvular heart disease, mitral valve disease, chronic heart failure in the elderly and obese, adult congenital heart disease, and atrial septal defect.

The scientific program will consist of sessions focused on treatment options for specific cardiovascular disease states. Each session will include a combination of case presentations, cross-fires, discussion panels, and question and answer periods. A faculty of internationally known leaders in the field has been invited to share their knowledge and experiences with complex and controversial cases.

This conference is designed for cardiologists, cardiovascular and thoracic surgeons, interventional cardiologists, perfusionists, nurses, technologists, and those involved in the diagnosis, treatment, and care of individuals with controversial and complex cases of cardiac disease.
 

Institute of Mathematics and Its Applications Conference on Mathematics of Medical Devices and Surgical Procedures

Monday 17 - Wednesday 19 September 2012 University College London United Kingdom

Mathematics is playing an ever increasing role in the area of health and medicine, through the use of modelling, statistics, and virtual simulations. These mathematical tools are becoming invaluable in testing the feasibility of surgical procedures and medical devices prior to clinical trials. Furthermore, there is a very realistic possibility over the next twenty years that computer models coupled to patient-specific imaging will be used in real time in the clinical environment to directly advise on treatment strategies. The aim of this conference is to bring together the diverse community of mathematicians, engineers, physicists, clinicians involved in using applied sciences and mathematics to develop and use medical devices to discuss both the latest research and the needs of the clinical community and patients.

The topics that will be discussed will broadly include cardiovascular devices, medical imaging, ophthalmology, cell biology, disease transmission, orthopaedic, advanced simulations, as well as health in ageing. The conference programme will include keynote speakers drawn from both clinical and mathematical communities, along with contributed presentations and poster sessions. The programme will also include breakout sessions in certain topics as well as refreshment breaks for informal discussions. Social events include a drinks reception and a conference dinner.

Artery 12

18th – 20th October 2012 Vienna, Austria

Artery 12 is aiming to provide a forum for scientific exchange between bioengineers, basic medical scientists, and clinicians interested in clinical research. An expanded list of topics will be covered through keynote lectures and abstract presentations, with lively debates being a fundamental part of the meeting.

A considerable amount of the programme is dedicated to young investigators, with prestigious prizes for the best oral Awards for more established researchers.presentation by a young investigator, for the best posters, and highly prized Career Development.

2nd International Conference on Prehypertension and CardioMetabolic Syndrome

January 31 – February 3, 2013 Barcelona, Spain

It is our pleasure to invite you to participate in The 2nd International Conference on Prehypertension and CardioMetabolic Syndrome, which will take place in Barcelona, Spain from January 31 - February 3, 2013.

Prehypertension is associated with other components of the metabolic syndrome i.e. obesity, glucose intolerance and dyslipidemia. The association is due to common mechanistic pathways and has implications on cardiovascular complications. Diet and exercise but not drug therapy benefit all components of the metabolic syndrome. Antihypertensive medications may lead to deterioration in glucose tolerance while glucose lowering agents may affect blood pressure. Thus, any discussion about the approach to prehypertension must be done in context to the whole cardio metabolic risk.

The Conference will discuss Important Topics such as:

Prehypertension - Definition, Classification, Diagnosis and Epidemiology

Progression of Hypertension, Increased Cardiovascular Risk, Vascular and End Organ Damage in Prehypertension

Screening and Early Diagnosis of Prehypertension and Subclinical Cardiovascular Damage

Located a mere two hours from the capital city of Bangkok, Pattaya will enchant you with its many attractions and activities, including the Sri Racha Tiger Zoo, Sanctuary of Truth and much more.

The biennial APSC has gained the distinction of having metamorphosed into the largest continental component of the World Heart Federation - facilitating discussion of current issues and technological challenges faced by Cardiology specialists.

Themed "Towards Excellence and Wisdom in Cardiovascular Care: Asia Pacific's Commitment to the Art & Science of Medicine" the APSC 2013 aims to bring together the best minds in the field of Cardiology to share and exchange their views, knowledge, and expertise.

The Scientific Program of APSC 2013 will cover a wide-range of issues including considerable advances in recent years, especially in the areas of molecular medicine, genomic and cell therapy, development of new diagnostic and screening tools, including biochemical markers and cardiac imaging modalities, new drugs and devices using state-of-the-art bioengineering techniques, and a phenomenal amount of data on the results of uncountable numbers clinical trials in cardiovascular diseases management, in which many of them created a significant controversy. We guarantee that you will find this conference riveting and informative.
