Vascular Medicine and Atherosclerosis Congress

Welcome to the VMAC - the Congress on Vascular Medicine and Atherosclerosis

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

We are thrilled to welcome you to the VMAC meeting 2026, a vital gathering of leading societies dedicated to cardiovascular prevention and the fight against atherosclerosis.

This year, we unite under the auspices of the German Atherosclerosis Society (DGAF), the German Society for Lipidology (DGFL), the German Society for Prevention of Cardiovascular Diseases (DACH), and the AG 41 of the German Cardiac Society (DGK).

As we come together annually, we recognize the critical importance of collaboration in our shared mission: to combat one of the most preventable diseases—atherosclerosis. Through early and effective prevention strategies that address all cardiovascular risk factors, we can save lives and improve quality of life of our patients.

Join us as we exchange knowledge, share groundbreaking research, and forge connections that will empower us to make a lasting impact in vascular medicine. Together, we can pave the way for a healthier future.

Let’s make a difference!

Warm regards,

Ulrike Schatz        Daniel Sedding       Oliver Weingärtner
