Dear Colleague,
We are pleased to invite you to attend Artery 8 which
will be held from Thursday 25th to Saturday 27th September 2008
in Ghent, Belgium.
This conference follows on from the previous highly successful Artery meetings that
have now established a tradition in the field. This meeting will cover the
expanding list of topics related to large artery structure and function through
keynote lectures, abstract presentations and practical
demonstrations of methods of how to assess arterial properties.
Stiffening of large arteries is an important element of vascular ageing, leading
to isolated systolic hypertension and increased cardiovascular risk. This has been
recognized by the 2007 ESC/ESH guidelines for the management of hypertension. Pathophysiological
alterations of large arteries are related to hypertensive disease,
atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, end-stage renal disease, smoking, hyperlipidaemia
and many other factors. Therefore, methods of assessing arterial function and structure are important in the modern management of cardiovascular disease,
both in terms of risk assessment and therapy.
The Artery Society aims to be the bridge between all societies dealing with arterial
structure and physiology. Delegates of these societies are warmly welcomed to actively
participate in Artery 8 and to exchange ideas with delegates of other societies.
As witness of this bridging function, joint sessions will be held with working groups
from different societies including the European Society of Hypertension and the
European Society of Cardiology.
We welcome abstracts for both oral and poster presentations dealing with clinical
research, experimental studies, biomechanical, methodological, and genetic research related to large
artery structure and function. The presentation of data at this meeting will provide
the opportunity for scientific interaction and discussion with a highly informed
audience. Furthermore, the participants will be rewarded with prizes for young investigators,
for best posters and for
Career Development Awards. All accepted abstracts will be published in the journal, Artery Research, the official journal of Artery the Society.
We look forward very much to welcoming you to Ghent in 2008.

Artery 8 will be held in Ghent, Belgium from the afternoon of
Thursday 25th September to Saturday 27th September 2008. Ghent is the
capital of the Belgian province of East Flanders and is a University City. The meeting
will be held at ‘Het
Pand’, which is the cultural and congress centre of the University
of Ghent and is a former Dominican monastery situated in the historical centre of
the City. The cultural centre is equipped with various conference and exhibition rooms.
The address is: ‘Het Pand’, Onderbergen 1, 9000 Ghent, Belgium. |

GRAVENSTEEN CASTLE
The Gravensteen is the Dutch name for the 'castle of the count'. The counts of Flanders
had castles built in the principal cities of the country. Because they had to maintain
law and order, they continuously had to move from one city to the other, therefore,
they had a castle at their disposal in most cities. The castle of Ghent is the only
one which survived the centuries more or less intact.
 The
Gravensteen, as we know it today, was constructed by Fillips of Alsasse who was
count of Flanders between 1157 and 1191. He took part in one of the crusades and
died during the siege of Akko in the Holy Land. The opening in the form of a cross,
right above the main entrance gate, proves that he already had taken part in a crusade
when the Castle was built around 1177-1178.The Gravensteen functioned as the centre
of the Counts’ power during the early Middle-Ages.Today, the Gravensteen has been
beautifully restored. It is still partially surrounded by the medieval moat. It
can be visited throughout the year. Within the castle, there is a museum about the
history of prison life and organisation, with a very instructive collection of medieval
torture instruments.
HOTELS & SOCIAL EVENTS
The Secretariat has negotiated special rates with a range of hotels close to Prague
Congress Centre. Rates quoted (in Euros) are per room per night and include a buffe | |
