European Society of Hypertension
 | |
| History The main purpose of the European Society of Hypertension (ESH) is to provide a stable and organised European platform for scientific exchange in hypertension. Professor Alberto Zanchetti and his colleagues initiated a series of European Hypertension Meetings in Milan in the years when the ISH did not hold any scientific meetings. Initially, these were organised without the help and support of a scientific society, except for the 1987 meeting which was organised under the endorsement and cooperation of ISH. The so-called “Milan Meetings” proved to be enormously successful, blending high-quality science and excellent organisation with a friendly academic atmosphere of the Milan University. The Milan Meetings were very well-attended, perhaps because of the clear emphasis towards clinical hypertension research. The need for a European Society of Hypertension (ESH) was demonstrated by the success of the Milan Meetings, among other factors. The ESH was created in 1989. Thus, the 4th European Hypertension Meeting in Milan was the first to be organised under the auspices of the ESH. Much effort was given to make the ESH a true sister society of the ISH, and thus its by-laws and objectives were modeled after those of the ISH. Close cooperation between the two societies has existed since the ESH was first formed. For example, all European members of the ISH were automatically granted membership in the ESH, if desired. The Journal of Hypertension, the official journal of the ISH, was adopted by the ESH as its official journal. |

Membership
| Membership for Physicians Membership in the European Society of Hypertension is open to physicians who are scientifically active in hypertension research. There are a number of benefits associated with the membership, such as continuous information from the Society by letters and by our new Internet Website. Scientific meetings of the European Society are held annually in various cities around Europe, and on the ESH Internet Website you will find the upcoming events. Importantly, ESH will also provide a programme for continuous professional education within hypertension. ESH is also actively promoting the new European Hypertension Specialist Programme Those who are not members are urged to send (a) a list of academic degrees, professional positions, and publications (short CV), and (b) a written endorsement by two members of the ESH to the ESH Secretary (Prof. Krzysztof Narkiewicz, knark@amg.gda.pl) as early as possible (no later than MARCH 31, 2009). Applications will receive final approval by the Society at its annual scientific meeting in Milan in June 2009. Kind regards. Prof. Krzysztof Narkiewicz ESH Secretary |
