The European Atherosclerosis Society (EAS) was founded in 1964, with the aim of “advancing and exchanging knowledge concerning the causes, natural history, treatment and prevention of atherosclerotic disease” – work that it continues today in areas including myocardial infarction, cerebro- and peripheral vascular disease.
The members and officers of the Society are, and have always been, leaders in basic and clinical research in the field of atherosclerosis. The Society’s expertise has been used to teach clinicians how to manage lipid disorders and how to prevent atherosclerosis. In recent years the Society has made a particular effort to recruit young scientists and clinicians also from other related disciplines. |
