The 14th edition of this conference was held back in Denmark, the country where it all began in 1984. It is hard to overstate the importance to the vascular network and, in particular, the resistance arteries when it comes to ensuring the appropriate regulation of blood flow to each organ of the body and the arterial pressure. Ultimately, healthy resistance arteries are essential to a healthy life. Compromised arterial health is at the center of diseases, including hypertension, stroke, heart failure, coronary artery disease, diabetes, vascular dementia and even Alzheimer’s disease. However, understanding the role of resistance arteries in the development and progression of these diseases is difficult given the complex mix of endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, elastic and connective tissue, fibroblasts, inflammatory cells, perivascular adipose tissue and perivascular nerves that make up the arterial wall. Combining knowledge and expertise on vascular health across groups studying different cell types and diseases is a challenge. This conference united basic and clinical scientists from around the world, and industry leaders that are focused on cardiometabolic diseases involving dysregulated resistance arteries.
