The upcoming 23^rd 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 Indian Stroke Association in helping us make your members aware of this important meeting.

The Scientific Program 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. Special Symposium initiatives include an Alaskan Cruise and several high profile Summits to discuss priority needs and actions for non-communicable disease prevention. The meeting will provide a forum for scientific exchange, interaction and initiatives with the objective of a legacy of new initiatives in Global 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.

We respectfully ask for your assistance to bring this meeting to the attention of your members by promoting ISH 2010 in your membership communications and posting it on your website with a link to the ISH 2010 website. We understand how busy you may be, and have developed some marketing tools that you can copy and put right into your website, newsletter and email blasts to save you time and effort.

We would like to invite the Indian Stroke Association to sponsor a Speaker or be a sponsor or co-sponsor of a symposium. The Indian Stroke Association would then be listed as supporter of the meeting and would contribute to the dialogue between persons interested in Global Cardiovascular Risk Reduction. We would be delighted to discuss such an opportunity with you.

I appreciate your time and attention to our request and we hope to have the support of the Indian Stroke Association for this important meeting.
