We are proud to announce, for the first time, the Heart Foundation Conference and Scientific Meeting, ‘‘Cardiovascular Disease in the 21st Century: Shaping the Future’’ on 23–25 March 2006.

Plenary
Despite recent advances in our knowledge of how to prevent and treat cardiovascular disease, we still face existing and emerging challenges. The meeting will address the key issues in cardiovascular research and the application of this research to public health policy and clinical practice. Attendees will also have the opportunity to participate in the development of future strategies to deal with all aspects of the disease.
