Welcome
The "Across the Strait Scientific Conference on Cardiovascular Science (ASCVS)," co-sponsored and initiated by four academic associations in China (including the Chinese Pharmacological Society, Chinese Association for Physiological Sciences, Chinese Association of Pathophysiology, and Chinese Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology), along with two renowned institutions in Taiwan (Chi Mei Medical Center) and Hong Kong (The University of Hong Kong), was first held in Beijing in 1995. Since then, it has been held every two years in various cities, including Beijing, Dalian, Lushan, Taipei, Hong Kong, Urumqi, Kunming, Yinchuan, Tainan, Hong Kong, Fenghua, Nanjing, and Luzhou, totaling thirteen sessions to date.
The conference of Asia-Pacific Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society is organized by experts in hyperbaric oxygen medicine from various countries and regions, including China, Japan, Australia, Singapore, and Malaysia. The first edition of the conference was held in Qingdao, China, in 2013. It was organized by Professor Gao Chun-jin, the Chairman of the Chinese Medical Association and the Hyperbaric Oxygen Medicine Branch, Honorary Chairman Mano Yoshihiro of the Asia Pacific Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society, and Professor Ko-Chi Niu of the Department of Hyperbaric Oxygen Medicine at Chi Mei Medical Center in Taiwan. The conference was held every two years and has now completed four sessions.
It is a great honor for Chi Mei Medical Center to host the fourteenth ASCVS from August 23rd to 26th, 2024, in Tainan City. This conference will be in conjunction with the 5th conference of Asia-Pacific Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (APUHMS) to expand the scope of academic communication. The conference will invite cardiovascular and hyperbaric oxygen medicine experts from research institutions, hospitals, and associations worldwide to participate. Over four days, the conference will discuss the frontiers of cardiovascular medicine and the diverse applications of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, showcasing the latest achievements in basic science and clinical medicine research. This event aims to promote knowledge sharing, new scientific and technological reports, and interdisciplinary collaboration among scholars. We warmly welcome experts from every corner of the world of cardiovascular science and hyperbaric oxygen science to participate in this conference. The conference will feature plenary lectures, special lectures, 4 symposia, poster sessions, and a competition forum for outstanding young scientists, offering various opportunities for experts and scholars to express their findings.
In addition, 2024 marks the 400th anniversary of Tainan, a city steeped in history and influenced by diverse ethnic groups. Throughout these four centuries, Tainan has experienced periods of both conflict and cooperation, as well as numerous challenges and prosperity. As a result, Tainan has preserved many historical buildings and artifacts and is filled with history, culture, delicious cuisine, and art. We believe a diverse cultural experience will thoroughly enrich your journey to Tainan. We sincerely invite you and your team to explore the historic city of Tainan.
We, all of the organizing committee members, will do our best to work together for a successful conference. We are looking forward to seeing you at the 14th ASCVS and the 5th APUHMS in Tainan.
Thank you very much, and best regards.
「海峽兩岸心血管科學研討會」由中國四大學會 (中國藥理學會、中國生理學會、中國病生理學會、中國生化與分子生物學學會) 及兩大單位 (奇美醫學中心及香港大學) 知名學者共同發起,輪流主辦,第一屆會議於 1995 年在北京首次舉行,往後每兩年召開會議,先後在北京、大連、廬山、臺北、香港、烏魯木齊、昆明、銀川、臺南、香港、奉化、南京、和瀘州等城市舉行,至今已經歷十三屆。
