It is a pleasure to welcome you to the Workshop
“Hot Issues in Hypertension” of the Menarini
Foundation which will be held in Siracusa on
October 27th-28th, 2017. As clear from the
title, the meeting will address a number of key
and in many instances controversial issues in
hypertension research and clinical practice.
That is, issues on which research has not
provided consistent data, data interpretation is
not univocal or implications for clinical practice
(as well as for guidelines recommendations) are
controversial, the controversy often extending to
the best research approach to adopt to obtain
clarification. Presentations will be delivered by
recognized experts in hypertension research
who will all be involved in the discussion, which
will be an important component of the meeting.
My most sincere thanks to the colleagues who
have accepted to participate despite their heavy
working schedule. And a deep thank to Menarini
Foundation which has made the meeting
possible, selecting as a venue a place famous
for its beauty but also for a history that takes us
back to the cradle of human culture.
President of the Meeting:
Giuseppe Mancia
