ESH-ISH
The European League Society of Hypertension (ESH) congress is usually held in May. In 2026, the destination will be Gdansk, Poland, hosting the 35th congress. The main purpose of the European Society of Hypertension (ESH) is to provide a stable and organized European platform for scientific exchange in hypertension. Initially, the first ESH-Meetings were organized without the help and support of a scientific society, except for the 1987 meeting which was organised under the endorsement and cooperation of ISH. Much effort was given to make the ESH a true sister society of the ISH. Close cooperation between the two societies has existed since the ESH was first formed. A positive, high level of interest in the ESH continues to be exhibited. The annual scientific meetings continue to grow, with increasing numbers of attendees and abstract submissions.
Gdańsk, Poland’s maritime capital, boasts a rich history spanning over 1,000 years. Known for its courageous spirit, the city is a unique blend of tradition and modernity. Solidarity Square, home to the Monument to the Fallen Shipyard Workers of 1970, stands as a symbol of the Polish fight for freedom. The city also proudly houses the Museum of the Second World War, one of the largest exhibitions on the conflict, providing an immersive look at the global impacts of the war and Poland’s heroic resistance. As we prepare for the 35th European Meeting on Hypertension and Cardiovascular Protection in 2026, Gdańsk is the perfect backdrop for this important event.
