Dear Colleagues and Friends,

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 9th Asia-Pacific CardioMetabolic Syndrome Congress (APCMS 2026) , which will be held in Seoul, Korea, in the beautiful season of spring.
This year marks a new chapter for our society, as the Korean Society of CardioMetabolic Syndrome (KSCMS) begins its transition to a Board of Directors system, further strengthening its structure and vision for the future.

Over the past years, APCMS has grown beyond the Asia-Pacific region to become a truly global congress, attracting experts, clinicians, and researchers from all around the world.
In 2025, we received nearly 500 abstracts, with over 400 submissions from abroad—a remarkable sign of the worldwide recognition and enthusiasm for our congress.

The main theme of APCMS 2026, “Integrating Minds, Transforming Outcomes: Redefining Cardiometabolic Health,” reflects our shared mission: to bridge disciplines, foster collaboration, and generate transformative solutions in cardiometabolic medicine.
As the importance of the cardio-kidney-metabolic continuum and fusion medicine continues to grow, our society aims to lead this global movement with innovation and unity.

This congress will once again bring together world-renowned scholars and leading professionals across cardiology, endocrinology, nephrology, nutrition, sports medicine and public health to discuss cutting-edge science, clinical practices, and the future of cardiometabolic care.
We promise a rich scientific program filled with inspiring lectures, joint sessions, and dynamic presentations from young investigators.

Beyond the science, we warmly invite you to experience Korea in springtime—a season of renewal and beauty—and to discover not only K-pop and K-culture, but also the vibrant spirit of K-science that is shaping the future of global medicine.

We look forward to welcoming you to Seoul for APCMS 2026, and to sharing an unforgettable and inspiring experience together.

Warm Regards,
