AbstractFirst, we would like to express our sincere gratitude and extend a most cordial welcome to Professor van der Vusse from the Netherlands and Professor Mangano from USA who have come all the way to Japan to participate in this symposium and make the symposium more fruitful. Before asking each speaker to talk on his topic, we would like to say a few words about this symposium. Modern diagnostic and therapeutic strategies make it possible to detect and treat myocardial ischemia before, during and after surgery. However, we should not forget the many contributions of basic science to these strategies. This international symposium on "ischemic heart and anesthesia" fills a great need because Dr.Mangano will emphasize the multidisciplinary or multicenter approach to the detection and management of perioperative ischemia. In his lecture "perioperative cardiac morbidity: new developments and controversies," Dr.Mangano suggests that increased attention and resources focussing on the prevention of (and possibly therapy for) postoperative ischemia may well be the key to reducing postoperative cardiac morbidity.
