abstract: This meeting convened over four days in the historical city of Florence, Italy. It attracted around 2500 attendees mainly from academia and pharmaceutical companies but also included clinical cardiologists from around the world. The conference covered a wide range of topics in the field of heart disease and lipid lowering drugs in the plenary sessions, workshops, and over 300 posters. The plenary sessions and series of workshops entitled "Drugs affecting lipid metabolism" were well attended and stimulated much discussion. There was a noticeably high content of basic research in the workshops, particularly in the field of molecular biology, although clinical studies also made up a large part of the data.
