The American Society of Hypertension (abbreviated ASH) was an American non-profit professional society dedicated to advancing research on hypertension and related cardiovascular diseases.
The ASH was founded in 1985 by 17 scientists and physicians.[1] In 2005, the ASH cut ties with the American Journal of Hypertension over a dispute over control of content published in the Journal.[2][3] In 2006, the society became the center of a dispute over the appropriate role of pharmaceutical industry in medical research. The dispute prompted several members of an ASH group convened to write a new definition of high blood pressure to resign from the group; those resigning included former ASH president Michael H. Alderman.[4] In 2017, the society dissolved and merged with the American Heart Association.[5] The Journal of the American Society of Hypertension, which was originally the official journal of the ASH, is now affiliated with the AHA.[6]
