Dear colleague

The Egyptian National Hypertension Project, the Egyptian Hypertension League and the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (USA), have the pleasure to invite you to the First Pan Arab Conference on Hypertension to be held in Cairo from December 6th - 8th, 1993. The meeting will be held in the elegant Marriott Hotel, few minutes away from the world famous attractions of magnificent Cairo.

Over the last few years, major advances were achieved in basic, clinical, and epidemiologic research related to hypertension. This Conference, the first of its kind in the Arab world, will discuss many of these advances. Hypertension and its complications are a common problem in this part of the world and do not receive enough of our attention.

Members of the Organizing Committee have prepared an interesting program which includes symposia, workshops, state of the art lectures, "How to"and " Meet the Experts" sessions that will cover a broad spectrum of topics in the fields of prevention, diagnosis and treatment of hypertension.

We can promise you new ideas and clinically relevant information for the management of your hypertensive patients. Furthermore, the Conference is offering two valuable Young Investigators' Awards for the best submitted abstracts on clinical and epidemiological aspects of hypertension.

Looking forward to see you in Cairo.
