2022 New York City ISNVD Annual Meeting

Meeting Date: July 21 -23, 2022

The conference will be held at the NYU Langone Health main medical campus in Schwartz Lecture Hall, which is located in the midtown of Manhattan, overlooks the east river, and is easily accessible from all points in the greater New York area through the city’s comprehensive public transport system (subway, buses and ferries). NYU medical campus has a long history of being the host of numerous medical conferences, workshops, and symposium.

Seven theme sessions and education course planned

The 10th ISNVD Meeting will provide distinctive opportunity to learn from both biomedical sciences and clinicians regarding the role of cerebral vascular changes in aging and dementia:

• Vascular anatomy and neurovascular physiology of the brain
• Vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID)
• Genetics, sleep, exercise, and dietary relations with dementia
• Advanced neurovascular imaging in aging and dementia
• Diabetes, stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI) and dementia
• CSF dynamics, glymphatic and venous drainage system
• Therapeutic approaches and strategies on vascular diseases & neurodegeneration
