Dear Friends, 

For Arab and Middle Eastern countries, the meeting of the Pan Arab Hypertension Society represents the most important regional scientific event in the field of hypertension. The meeting has 3 main objectives. First, promote research related to high blood pressure among Arab Physicians. Second, provide up-to-date information that help physician education and improve patient care. Third, establish link between different centers, groups and persons interested in Hypertension. The basic massage, however, is exchange of information and find ways to improve our physician knowledge in a very important area of medicine.

Hypertension is such a serious disease which has been neglected by our physicians, consider by many as a boring and dull subject. It is one of our goals to create interest in this subspecialty among our young Arab doctors. The rapid proliferation of scientific knowledge addressing mechanism, molecular biology, epidemiology and drug therapy will make hypertension such a challenging and interesting subject. The fact that environmental, genetic and lifestyle factors influence hypertension prevalence, outcome and response to therapy underscores the need for local research in our Arab population.

The venue of the meeting is Beirut-Lebanon; one of my most favorite cities. Through its mountains, pine trees, Mediterranean Sea and very pleasant people, Lebanon is such an ideal touristic attraction.

On behalf of the pan Arab Hypertension Society, I invite you to participate in our meeting, enjoying both the scientific program and the beautiful Lebanon.
