Report on the Joint Symposium of the Korean Society of CardioMetabolic Syndrome (KSCMS) and the Japanese Society of Hypertension (JSH) at the 8th Asia-Pacific CardioMetabolic Syndrome (APCMS) Congress in Seoul

Hypertension Research volume 48, pages 2755–2757 (2025)Cite this article

The 8th Asia-Pacific CardioMetabolic Syndrome (APCMS) Congress was held in Seoul on May 23-24, 2025. A joint symposium, organized by the Korean Society of CardioMetabolic Syndrome (KSCMS) and the Japanese Society of Hypertension (JSH), took place on the evening of May 23. Co-chaired by Prof. Kwang Kon Koh and Prof. Shin-ichiro Miura, the symposium featured four speakers and adopted an innovative format that included four dedicated discussants. Prof. Seung Hwan Han, president of KSCMS, was also present.

Dr. Hack-Lyoung Kim opened the symposium with a presentation titled “Insulin Resistance Markers for Cardiovascular Risk Prediction in Hypertension”. He explored the relationship between insulin resistance and cardiovascular risk in hypertensive patients, highlighting potential biomarkers such as homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and the triglyceride-glucose index for early detection and risk stratification [1, 2]. These markers may also enhance prognostic prediction and improve traditional risk models.
