6th Int. Conf. on Prehypertension

Memo

Prehypertension is a part of the continuum from normotension to hypertension it is a part of a dynamic process of stiffening and aging of the arteries and of the heart with its consequences. Patients in the prehypertensive range will become finally hypertensive. Diseased arteries will not only participate in propagation of end organ damage but will enhance the progression of additional damage in the arteries and the heart. Understanding the risk of borderline conditions in the metabolic syndrome will enable us to understand the nature of end organ damage and will create a possibility of better prevention of this continuous process.Hypertension, Diabetes, Dyslipidemia and Obesity are considered as major risk factors for Atherosclerosis of cerebral, coronary and peripheral arteries. This process causes Development of Ischemic heart disease, obstruction to cerebral flow and PVD. Clustering of these risk factors is very common and their accumulation causes faster propagation of end organ damage and cerebrovascular events. The diagnosis of risk factors, especially when they are clustered, justify multidisciplinary aggressive therapeutic approach which should be started as soon as possible with diagnosis.The Conference will aim to deal with all aspects related to early diagnosis, including innovative technologies and treatments as well as discussion of target organ damage, cardiac, renal, neurological and peripheral arteries. The conference will bring together professionals from the fields of Hypertension, Cardiology, Nephrology, Endocrinology, Internal Medicine and more.We hope that you will join us for what promises to be a stimulating professional and educational event and look forward to welcoming you to Vilnius.
