If I become the president of APSAVD

Asian-pacific region has become the very important region because of the total population, disease burden and recent economic growth. But academic activities have been lagged behind and we have been adopting most of the guidelines set up by the western countries. We need to do more of our own Asian-Pacific studies and have our own guidelines. We need to do more collaborative studies between the scientists and between the countries of the region.

 

 First I want to increase the scientific activity of the region.

I will invite the experts and opinion leaders from each country and will form the task force team for the “Asian-Pacific Guideline for the prevention and treatment of dyslipidemia and atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases”.

 Secondly, I will organize the committee of epidemiology and prevention, genomics, and etc. I will try to do the epidemiologic studies and interventional studies in the region. For which I will try to collect the opinions from the members of APSAVD and will also get the opinions from the opinion leaders in the region. Once the project is selected, I will try to raise the fund and will actively support the study.

 

Thirdly I will try to build up the data base of the current status of the prevalence of diseases and dyslipidemia and the future perspectives in the region.

 

Forthly, I will upgrade our home page and will increase its usage by the members by making it a useful communication ground between the members and a learning source.

 

To make all these vision to come true, it will be very much important to organize the expert committee from the region and communicate with the similar international bodies and come up with the projects with high scientific merit and attractive to both the practicing physicians and also to the company. With formulated project I can draw the attention from the companies and raise the funds to support the study.

 

Recently I worked as a principal investigator for the “CEPHEUS” study in which eight countries from the Asian Pacific region participated. The successful achievement of the study gave me good confidence that “we can do it”.

 

I have worked for the Korean Society of Lipidology and Atherosclerosis for long time and also in the society of APSAVD and IAS and understand very well about the regional situations and scientists and these will be a great add if I become the president and serve for the region.
