Newsletter #3 (March 1 - 31, 2009)
Dear CnAHA members,
colleagues, and friends,
We want to update you on some
highlights in CnAHA in March of 2009.
1. We had a
successful CnAHA/ACC Conference/Dinner on 3/29/2009 in Orlando,
Florida during the annual scientific session of the American College
of Cardiology (ACC) . Many members and distinguished guests from
ACC, AHA, ASE leadership in the US, China, Hong Kong and Taiwan came
to the meeting. We accomplished a lot. Dr. Dali Fan, MD, PhD,
Program Chair and Vice-President of CnAHA will update you on the
specifics of the meeting. You can also find the photographs and
ChAHA introduction speech at our website at www.cnaha.org.
2.
We have confirmed the partnership with the Great Wall International
Congress of Cardiology from 10/9/09 to 10/13/09 in Beijing, the 20th
anniversary of this outstanding meeting in China and in the world.
We will select 7 members and delegates to the meeting. The
CnAHA/GWICC symposium this year will be "Arrhythmia: An Evidence
Based Approach". Please send your input, suggestions, and a topic
you feel would be interesting to a general audience of cardiologists
to Dr. Gong-Yuan Xie, MD, Chair of Committee on Noninvasive
Cardiology and CnAHA/GWICC liaison (Xieg@health.missouri.edu).
3. We are working on a
CnAHA Young Investigator Award (YIA) in partnership with AHA to award
a plaque and a cash prize to the 3 most meritorious abstracts
submitted to AHA in basic, clinical and population sciences from a
young investigator with Chinese origin. Dr. Jie Cheng, MD, PhD,
(jcheng@heart.thi.tmc.edu),
Chair of Academic Committee is spearheading this important effort.
4. For our membership
drive, you have received updates on our lifetime members, regular
members, and associate members from Membership Director, Dr. Huigui
Gui Li, MD, PhD. If you think you have benefited from CnAHA and/or
CnAHA has benefited from your leadership, enthusiasm, experience and
expertise, please inform your colleagues about us. We hope that with
your help, support, and leadership, CnAHA will make a bigger impact
in cardiovascular science and medicine in the US and China in this
difficult time.
Thank you for your
continued support and service to CnAHA.
Cordially
yours,
