Dear Colleagues,

I am Professor Seung Hwan Han, the president of the Asia-Pacific CardioMetabolic Syndrome Congress. With the enthusiasm and active participation of renowned faculties and participants from all over the world, the size and quality of our congress has been reached the top class of congress in this field.

I would like to announce, the APCMS 2025 (8th Asia-Pacific CardioMetabolic Syndrome) Congress will be held on May 23-24 (Friday and Saturday), 2025 at the Conrad Hotel, Seoul, Korea. The theme is “Breaking Boundaries: Multi-disciplinary Cardio-Metabolic Landscape”.

The CardioMetabolic Syndrome (CMS) causes cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, fatty liver disease, calcified valve disease, and dementia. It is prevalent globally and is increasing. The KSCMS study Fact Sheet 2024 (Korean Survey of CardioMetabolic Syndrome) performed by our society, reported that the prevalence of CMS was 24.9% in 2019-2021 in adults aged ≥ 19 years. The CMS can be prevented through diet, exercise, and intensive control of risk factors.

We hosted APCMS Congress in Seoul from 2018 to 2024. The APCMS Congress has been successful in both quality and quantity. Many professional representatives—cardiologists, endocrinologists, epidemiologists, family medicine physicians, nutritionists, and sports medicine physicians from over 19 countries have attended. You will be able to see the development and achievements that we will make through the years. Indeed, we are performing a prospective registry nationally and publish an international, peer-reviewed journal “CardioMetabolic Syndrome Journal (CMSJ)”. The website is “https://www.e-cmsj.org/”. Also, we published a practical guidebook to prevent and manage CMS for both health professionals and patients. We believe the success of this congress is achieved entirely by active participation and contribution from the globe.

“This congress will serve as a pivotal platform where experts from various specialties of cardio-metabolic fields come together to break down the traditional boundaries that separate their fields. By doing so, we aim to create a synergistic environment that promotes innovative approaches to the treatment and prevention of cardiometabolic disease. The congress will cover a wide range of topics, from cardiovascular and metabolic risk assessment to cutting-edge therapeutic strategies.”

The APCMS 2025 consists of educational symposia, joint sessions with overseas societies, and original competition sessions such as oral, mini-oral, young investigator, and Moderated poster presentations (honorable certificates and awards). We create the Distinguished Young Investigator Award to acknowledge achievement. We continue to offer a travel grant for overseas colleagues to join APCMS 2025. We definitely welcome you. Finally, the scientific program and abstract submission are available online, If you have any questions, please feel free to contact a secretariat by e-mail at info@apcmscongress.com.

Thanks.
Best Regards,
