Satellite Meetings

There will be a number of satellite symposia throughout Australia and the Asia Pacific region pre and post ISA2012. All satellites are organised independently from ISA2012

FHFamilial Hypercholesterolaemia and Genetic Dyslipidaemia
22 March – 25 March 2012
Novotel, Manly Beach
http://www.fhandgenetics2012.com/
The ISA Satellite meeting on Familial Hypercholesterolaemia and Genetic Dyslipidaemia will address the scientific, clinical and organisational aspects of genetic dyslipidaemia. In addition to Familial Hypercholesterolaemia, a parallel programme will cover Lp(a), severe hypertriglyceridaemia and hypolipidaemic states, especially low HDL. The venue is a beachside part of Sydney that is within easy reach of Sydney International Airport. Arrangements for facilitated transfer to the main ISA meeting will be available for registrants.

Basic and Clinical Aspects of Plaque Progression
22 March – 23 March 2012
Melbourne, Australia
www.isa-satellite.platformtechnologies.org
The ISA Satellite Basic and Clinical Aspects of Plaque Progression will feature leading international scientists and clinicians in the fields of vascular biology, inflammation, plaque formation and rupture. The program highlights new therapies, diagnostic markers and follows the progression of plaque formation and associated co-morbidities in animal models and man.

Postprandial Lipaemia, Remnant Lipoproteins and AtherosclerosisISCD
Date: 23-24 March 2012
Heart Research Institute, Sydney
www.iscdgroup.com
This satellite meeting will provide the opportunity for the presentation of recent research results pertaining to the study of plasma lipids and lipoproteins in the fed state and their role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Topics will focus on environmental, pharmacological and genetic factors affecting postprandial triglyceridaemia and potentially atherogenic remnant lipoproteins.

HDL 'High-density lipoproteins: biology and therapeutics.'
Date: 30 March - 1 April 2012
Hilton Hotel Cairns, Australia
www.hdlcairns2012.com.au

HDL Satellite meetings are an established feature of the triennial ISA meetings and regularly attract many of the leading researchers in the field. The satellite provides a forum for presentation and discussion of state-of-the-art knowledge of the biology and biochemistry of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and of recent developments in therapeutics directed to modifications of HDL metabolism and function. The program reflects the many recent and exciting developments in the field, and includes presentations by leading researchers. Additional oral presentations are to be selected from submitted abstracts and, along with poster sessions, form an integral part of the scientific program. We hope that this meeting will provide an excellent forum for exchange of information and discussions between established and junior investigators, trainees and industry scientists.

Confirmed speakers include: John Chapman (Paris), Sean Davidson (Ohio), Gordon Francis (Vancouver), Jay Heinecke (Seattle), John Kastelein (Amsterdam), Alan Remaley (NIH, Bethesda), Dan Rader (Philadelphia), Ernst Schaeffer (Boston), Alan Tall (New York).

The location in Cairns also provides you with an unrivalled opportunity to sample some outstanding World Heritage listed natural locations, including the Great Barrier Reef.

The Post Satellite Meeting International Symposium on Atherosclerosis 2012 in conjunction with XI Holistic Approach in Cardiovascular Disease Symposium
Date: 30 – 31 March 2012
Sanur Paradise Plaza Hotel, Sanur – Bali
Theme: Atherosclerosis & Metabolic Syndrome in Management of Cardiocerebrovascular Disease

Healthy Ageing (CVD in the Elderly)
30 March 2012
Crowne Plaza, Coogee Sydney
www.dubbostudy.org/
There is a worldwide trend towards population ageing, with an increasing toll from non-communicable diseases, especially cardiovascular disease. A number of landmark epidemiological studies have examined healthy ageing and this satellite meeting will explore these studies. The program will focus on cardiovascular diseases, but many other issues of ageing will be discussed.

Keynote speakers include Professors John Danesh (Cambridge), Leon Simons (Sydney), John McCallum (Canberra), Henry Brodaty (Sydney), Perminder Sachdev (Sydney) and Lynn Chenoweth (Sydney
