Psychogenic Cardiovascular Disease Conference Prato

5 - 7 September 2012, Prato Tuscany

 

Following the highly successful BakerIDI Heart and Diabetes Institute Heart and Mind conferences of 2008 and 2010, an encore is to be held, once more in the delightful town of Prato, Italy, in September, 2012.

Prato is only 25 minutes drive from Florence. At the 2010 meeting the organizers were pleased to host an international rollcall of delegates from Canada, Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Iran, Ireland, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Slovak Republic, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, the Netherlands, United Kingdom, USA and Australia. The 2012 meeting promises to be a stimulating and enlightening international event, surpassing even the earlier meetings. The direct participation of internationally renowned scientists and practitioners from the fields of psychology, psychiatry and cardiovascular medicine will ensure this. The conference will have as its centrepoint the link between psychological medicine and cardiovascular disease, aiming to delineate the relationship between stress, mental illnesses and the development and course of heart disease and hypertension. Heart attack risk during national and international disasters will be featured, given recent world events. The meeting will showcase the crucial epidemiology, and the mediating neural and other mechanisms of the brain-heart link. The pharmaceutical, social and psychological measures applicable to prevention and treatment will be analyzed.
