THE SOCIETY


The international Society for the Study of Hypertension in Pregnancy (ISSHP), founded in 1976, aims to stimulate research in the field of hypertension in pregnancy, disseminate the useful results of such research, and advance education in the field.

It is particularly committed to encouraging research activity by encouraging junior research fellows, especially from Third World countries, to attend Society meetings. It is recognised by the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) and The World Health Organization (WHO) and has ongoing joint initiatives with both these organisations.

Biennial International World Congresses are held in rotation in North America, Europe and 'elsewhere in the world'. The Society is allied to its high-quality journal Hypertension in Pregnancy.


ISH 2010 Vancouver

The upcoming 23rd Scientific Meeting of the International Society of Hypertension (ISH 2010) in Vancouver, Canada will focus on issues of considerable importance to health care professionals. The theme of the Meeting is “Global Cardiovascular Risk Reduction”. We are inviting the world’s experts in a variety of areas of cardiovascular medicine to address and inspire a global audience and would like the assistance of the International Society for the Study of Hypertension in Pregnancy (ISSHP) in helping us make your members aware of this important meeting.

The Scientific Program has been finalized and will present science and education at the highest level and encompass the spectrum of molecular and cellular science, clinical medicine, population studies and health policy issues. Future perspectives, new research, treatment and prevention will be showcased in four days of invited plenary talks and oral and poster presentations. The meeting will provide a forum for scientific exchange, interaction and initiatives with the objective of a legacy of new insights and initiatives in Cardiovascular Risk Reduction. We know that the 2010 meeting will be enthusiastically greeted by health care professionals from around the world and your members will benefit for attending.
