Our 2025 meeting, From Fork to Flow: How Nutrition, Obesity, and Metabolism Shape Cardiovascular Health, was highly successful, and we are confident that the 2026 conference will be our best yet. This year’s theme, “You’re Only as Old as Your Arteries: Clinical Relevance and Preventive Perspectives for Vascular Aging”, will feature an outstanding lineup of symposia, speakers, and industry partners.

Planned symposium topics include:

Symposium 1: Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic Syndrome: A New Paradigm for Understanding Vascular Risk
Symposium 2: Cerebrovascular Pathways to Cognitive Decline: Insights from Aging and Hypertension
Symposium 3: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Vascular Health: The Therapeutic Efficacy of MitoQ Across Clinical Populations
Symposium 4: Applications of Digital Twins and Computational Fluid Dynamics in Arterial Hemodynamics
Symposium 5: Geroscience-Informed Therapeutic Interventions: Targeting the Hallmarks of Aging to Improve Vascular Health

The program will also include trainee oral abstract presentations, trainee poster sessions, career development award presentations, and a career development breakfast hosted by the North American Artery Early Investigator Committee.

We hope you will join us in Philadelphia this May. Register before April 1, 2026, to receive the Early Bird Savings!

We look forward to your participation in another exceptional North American Artery meeting.

Warm regards,
