@HealthMed An excellent setting for the
2012 ISH Congress - the
Sydney Congress Centre, overlooking
Darling Harbour in the centre of the harbour city of Sydney - amid a weekend of euphoria for sporting enthusiasts, after close success for the Sydney Swans over Hawthorn in the Footy (AFL) Grand Final, following by a win for the Melbourne Storm over the Canterbury Bulldogs in the NRL Grand Final - and the astonishing win by Europe in the Ryder Cup ...
At least a few of the almost 2000 international delegates appeared tempted into the city by the Spring sunshine.
Some of the early Congress highlights:
- Jeffrey Moore,
Monash University, discussing targeting innate immunity to treat vascular hypertension
- Ernesto Schiffrin, Montreal, on immune mediation of angiotensin II induced vascular pathology
- Steve Vatner, New Jersey Medical School, giving a sceptical view of the role of apoptosis in cardiomyopathy and heart failure
