The conference was preceded by the Workshop on Channels and the Mechanism of Hypertension, which was organized by Alberto Nasjletti, MD. The program for the conference included 74 oral presentations and 173 posters, which were selected from the 444 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 the Proceedings issue of Hypertension. There were 115 manuscripts submitted, and 62 were accepted for publication. Manuscripts were reviewed by at least two referees and a Section Editor. Only the manuscripts that were judged to be of outstanding merit and that required minor or no revisions were accepted for publication in this issue. Section Editors were members of the Publication Committee of the Council for High Blood Pressure Research, and included George Bakris, MD; Toshiro Fujita, MD; Joseph R. Haywood, PhD; Jose E.
