Dear Friends, Dear Colleagues, Dear Representatives, |

It was our great pleasure welcoming you to Hypertension 2008, the joint congress bringing together delegates for the 18th Scientific Meeting of the European Society of Hypertension and the 22nd Scientific Meeting of the International Society of Hypertension, held in Berlin, Germany, from June 14 to 19, 2008.
After the successful 2006 meetings of ESH in Madrid and ISH in Fukuoka, we are convinced that the joint meeting of our societies was also offering you a great program with the latest results in the field of hypertension. Over 8,500 delegates have been registered to the conference. The regular scientific program was accompanied by a variety of opportunities to share scientific knowledge and clinical experience through state-of-the-art lectures, breakfast topical workshops and satellite symposia. Also included were educational programs for practising physicians and health care professionals. Berlin, currently one of the most exciting cities in the world, provided the perfect background for Hypertension 2008. As the hometown of celebrated scientists like Robert Koch and Rudolf Virchow, Berlin has a long and outstanding history of medical discoveries. This history is continued by the Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin and its research facilities at the present time. Thank you very much for joining us at Hypertension 2008.
