European Society of Hypertension (ESH) annual congress underway in Milan

The European Society of Hypertension (ESH) has developed a scientific programme that includes multiple State-of-the-Art Lectures, Debates and Round Tables on issues on major current interest and controversy. As in the past, the programme reserves a wide space to the practical aspects of the management of hypertension via Teaching, How-to, Meet the Expert and Clinical case sessions as well as via sessions reserved to hypertension specialists and ESH Excellence Centers. An important contribution will also come from Satellites organized by the Industry.

ESH are also keen to highlight the two "hands-on" specific teaching courses, held on Friday, June 16, from 13.30.

• The first course is focused on how to best measure blood pressure in year 2017, after the SPRINT trial, based on the available techniques for office and out-of-office BP monitoring.
• The second course is focused on how to assess arterial wall properties and how to quantify arterial stiffness and central BP values in hypertension.

This two specific educational, theoretical and practical courses and a lot of Joint Sessions organised with other scientific societies from all over the world will be held on Friday, June 16.

The 27th European Meeting on Hypertension and Cardiovascular Protection is an international meeting that aims to enhance practical and theoretical knowledge and provide attendees with a unique opportunity to network with a wide range of professionals in the field of Hypertension and Cardiovascular Protection.
