The 21° Simposio Internacional sobre Aterosclerosis will take place at CentroParque in Santiago, Chile, from 20–22 October 2027. Organised by the International Atherosclerosis Society with Ateroschile, ISA 2027 marks the first time the society’s triennial symposium has been held in Latin America.
The meeting’s theme, “Salud cardiometabólica desbloqueada: Desde la genética hasta el impacto global”, connects discoveries in genetics and lipid science with clinical practice and population health. The developing scientific programme will consider atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease alongside the broader challenges of cardiometabolic health.
Announced topics span genetic lipid disorders, genetics and gene editing, new lipid medicines, hypertriglyceridaemia, inflammation and vascular biology, and advances in imaging and diagnosis. Diabetes, obesity, nutrition, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome are also included among the planned subject areas.
A further strand looks at how scientific advances can be translated into care. Topics include clinical guideline implementation, precision medicine and omics, risk assessment, artificial intelligence and digital health. Equity and access, health economics, public policy, patient engagement and misinformation in medicine broaden the discussion beyond individual therapies. Women’s health, longevity and sleep apnoea are also listed within the programme’s intended scope.
The scientific committee is chaired by Marianne Abifadel with Raúl Santos as co-chair. Rodrigo Alonso chairs the organising committee, with Ada Cuevas as co-chair. These committees are developing the programme and are distinct from a confirmed speaker roster.
The organisers plan to invite contributions from the society’s international membership, including proposals for sessions and joint sessions. The abstract call is intended to give authors an opportunity to share research advances, updates and clinical cases related to atherosclerosis and cardiometabolic health; submission details are still to be announced.
CentroParque is the congress venue in Las Condes, Santiago. The Hotel Marriott Santiago is listed separately as the official hotel. Delegates can follow the official site for the developing programme, abstract information and future travel-grant announcements.
