Letter From the Chair

Sept. 9, 2014

Dear Colleague,

On behalf of the Council on Hypertension and Council on the Kidney in Cardiovascular Disease, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the High Blood Pressure Research 2014 Scientific Sessions. This conference, focusing on recent advances in basic and clinical research on hypertension, is considered the premier scientific meeting on the subject in the world. The science submitted to this conference continues to bring us the most up to date developments on our understanding of: the causes of hypertension; its relationship to stroke, cardiac disease and kidney dysfunction; and the most effective means for detecting, evaluating and treating high blood pressure across diverse populations.

We hope that you take full advantage of all the excellent programming throughout the conference and enjoy your time here in San Francisco. We strive to create an atmosphere of enrichment for conference attendees. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to enhance your experience during your time here. We look forward to interacting with you during the next few days.

Program InformationConference Summary

The American Heart Association’s High Blood Pressure Research 2014 Scientific Sessions provides a critical forum to present the latest evidence in the optimal management of hypertension, obesity, metabolic syndrome and atherosclerosis. Considered one of the most important medical meetings on this subject in the world, the conference includes oral and poster presentations selected from abstracts submitted by clinical and basic researchers from more than 20 countries. These are all followed by discussions led by leading authorities. The conference will provide an educational program for physicians and research investigators that will enhance their knowledge, advance their skills and apprise them of the latest developments in research pertaining to hypertension and its relationship to stroke, cardiac disease, kidney function/renal diseases, obesity and genetics.

Conference Learning Objectives

After completing this program, participants will be able to:

• Discuss recent studies linking air pollution and other novel risk factors with hypertension and identify unmet needs for future research.

• Describe current research on the effect of APOL1 allele variants on kidney disease in African-Americans, unmet research needs and therapeutic implications.

• Describe knowledge and clinical gaps in the use of novel approaches to treat hypertension, and in new targets for clinical intervention.

• Discuss current knowledge and knowledge gaps regarding the relationship between obesity and hypertension.

• Describe the pathophysiology of diastolic heart failure and the implications for therapeutic interventions.

• Describe novel methods to measure and predict hypertension that can be used in research and clinical practice.

HypertensionPublishing the best high blood pressure–related articles, focused on basic science, clinical treatment, and

prevention of hypertension and related cardiovascular, metabolic, and renal diseases.

Bina Joe, PhD, FAHA, Professor, University of Toledo, Toledo, OH The Lewis K. Dahl Memorial Lecture was established in 1988 by the Council for Hypertension in honor of Dr. Dahl’s pioneering work on the relations between salt, the kidney and hypertension, and the establishment of a major genetically based experimental model of hypertension, the Dahl salt-sensitive rat. Bina Joe, PhD will present the lecture this year on Friday, Sept. 12 from 8:00–8:30 pm. The Harriet Dustan Award

Lilach O. Lerman, MD, PhD, Career Scientist/Professor of Medicine and Physiology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MNThe Harriet Dustan Award is designed to recognize women investigators who have made outstanding contributions in the field of hypertension. This award was established to honor the memory of Dr. Harriet Dustan, an outstanding clinician and investigator who was a tireless worker on behalf of the Council on Hypertension and the American Heart Association for more than 50 years. In addition to her numerous career achievements, Dr. Dustan served the AHA as president, chaired its Ethics and Research Committees, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Hypertension. This year’s honoree, Lilach O. Lerman, MD, PhD, will present her lecture on Thursday, Sept. 11 from 10:30–11:00 am.

The Donald Seldin Lecture

Alicia A. McDonough, PhD, Professor, Cell and Neurobiology, Keck School of Medicine of USC, Los Angeles, CAThe Donald Seldin Lecture was created to honor Dr. Donald Seldin, a pioneer and leader in the field of cardiovascular disease as it relates to kidney failure. This lecture continues to raise the awareness of AHA attendees about the rising epidemic of cardiovascular disease and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease. We are pleased to announce the lecture will be presented by Alicia McDonough, PhD on Thursday, Sept. 11 from 8:00–8:30 am.
