Dear Colleagues,
It is both a pleasure and a privilege for me to welcome you, on behalf of the Organizing Committee, to the 1st International Conference on Familial Hypercholesterolaemia in Children & Adolescents, in Athens, Greece, 8-9 June 2012.
Holding the inaugurating Conference in Greece is an extremely opportune circumstance, I believe, since the birthplace of Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, provides the best setting for the works of the event, which we all hope it will evolve into a major scientific institution worldwide.
To that end, the role and contribution of internationally renowned scientists that constitute the faculty of the Conference is of invaluable importance, as you can easily understand from just a brief glance at the scientific program. Furthermore, the topics to be discussed cover the whole spectrum of FH, starting with the genetics and clinical presentation of the condition, overviewing nutritional and drug treatment approaches and, last but not least, enumerating current and future strategies and perspectives in both treatment and prevention.
At the same time, we will have the opportunity to exchange views and ideas on the issue of FH in children and adolescents at a very convenient site, right across three of the most important monuments of Athens: the Acropolis and the Parthenon, the Pnyca, where St Paul introduced Christianity to Greece, and the Lycabettus Hill, the tallest point (277m) and symbol of independence of Athens.
With these words and a warm welcome to Greece, we look forward to seeing you all in Athens in 2012, another benchmark year for the ancient Greek spirit, since it is an Olympic Games year!
For the Organizing Committee
Euridiki Drogari President
