Foreword
Hypertension is a world wide problem and a leading risk factor for
cardiovascular disease.
The criteria for normal BP and hypertension have changed considerably
over the last three decades and the guidelines for antihypertensive
therapy continue to evolve as new clinical trial evidence emerge
The prevalence of hypertension varies in different parts of the Asia
Pacific region but in all countries effective control of hypertension is
a major problem.The theme of the 3rd Asian Pacific Congress of
Hypertension “Achieving Targets in Hypertension Control” focuses on and
the scientific proceedings examine different aspects of this problem and
the challenge to develop effective strategies to deal with it.
They also reflect the multidisciplinary nature of hypertension as the
participants come from different specialties from cardiologists to
nephrologists to endocrinologist to neurologists and other medical
practitioners
The Organising Committee of the 3rd Asian Pacific Congress of
Hypertension welcomes all participants to this meeting in Singapore and
wishes all a productive and an enjoyable experience
