This issue of Hypertension contains selected manuscripts based on presentations made at the 50th Annual Fall Conference and Scientific Sessions of the American Heart Association Council for High Blood Pressure Research The meeting was held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, Chicago, III, from September 17 through 20, 1996 The conference was preceded by a workshop on the Molecular Genetic Analysis of Hypertension and Cardiovascular Disease that was organized by Richard P Lifton, Diane E Handy, and Theodore A Kotchen The program for the conference included 82 slide presentations and 175 posters that were selected from the 534 submitted abstracts These presentations, which were judged the best hypertension research, covered a variety of topics from genetics, molecular biology, receptors, vascular biology, and signal transduction to clinical hypertension and obesity All presenters were encouraged to submit a manuscript for consideration for publication in this proceedings issue of Hypertension There was no page limitation on the submitted manuscripts There were 115 manuscripts submitted and 62 were accepted for publication Manuscripts were reviewed by two referees and a section Editor Only the manuscripts that required no or minor revisions were accepted for publication in this issue Section Editors were members of the Publications Committee of the Council for High Blood Pressure Research and included Kenneth M Baker, Gary H Gibbons, Joey Granger, Joseph L Izzo, Theodore Kurtz, Thomas E Lohmeier, Mariana Morris, John W Osborn, Nancy J Rusch, William C Sessa, and James R Sowers

I am grateful to these committee members for the time and diligent efforts that they devoted to the evaluation of the submitted manuscripts I am also grateful to all who served as referees for the manuscripts The timely review of the manuscripts is unprecedented and has allowed the publication of the proceedings within 4 months of the meeting This is the shortest elapsed time from the meeting to the publication of the proceedings This rapid publication would not have been possible without the vision, experience, hard work, and encouragement of Dr Edward D Frohlich, Editor-in-Chief of Hypertension This also required the dedicated support of the editorial staff of Hypertension, Debby Smith (Associate Managing Editor), and Gary M Smith (Managing Editor) They provided the organization, hard work, advice, and diligence Their efforts are greatly appreciated by the Publications Committee and the authors

The Council meetings are also the occasion of several invited lectureships and awards In 1996, Dr Edward D Frohlich presented the annual Arthur C Corcoran Memorial Lecture, Dr Edward G Bigheri received the Council for High Blood Pressure Research Lifetime Achievement Award, Dr David B Simon received the Hoechst Marion Roussel Hypertension Research Clinical Fellowship Award, Dr Ryuichi Morishita received the Harry Goldblatt Award, and Drs Robert J Lefkowitz and Oliver Smithies received the CIBA Award for Hypertension Research

We will continue to strive to make this supplemental issue to Hypertension a valuable and comprehensive forum that showcases the latest developments and advances in the field of hypertension research To this end, we will continue to feature full-length, peer-reviewed research articles that are published in a timely manner
