<International Circulation>: What do you think are some of the most important breakthroughs in prevention lately?

  《国际循环》：您认为近期在预防方面最重要的突破性进展有哪些？
    Prof.Tomaselli:  I still think that the recognition that an active lifestyle， a reasonable diet and calorie balance are important as a measure， has been around for a while but is a notion that has been reinforced time and time again. There have been a number of studies that have shown that if you don’t develop risk factors by middle age then you are not going to develop cardiovascular disease. Those are the key things. It is not an individual contributing factor， but a series of things: diet and exercise， maintaining a healthy body weight and in the case of secondary prevention， it is really the ABCs (aspirin， blood pressure control and cholesterol control). Those combinations of things really do help to push back the onset of cardiovascular events in those at risk.

    Tomaselli教授：我仍然认为最重要的措施是对良好生活方式的认识，合理饮食，热量平衡。这些措施存在已久，但是仍被一次次强调。有一些试验显示，如果在中年时没有危险因素，那么就不容易得心血管疾病。这些就是最重要的事情。预防并非单个因素而是包括一系列措施：饮食、运动、保持适当体重。在二级预防方面，则是ABC(阿司匹林，血压和胆固醇控制)。这些联合措施会使有危险因素的人心血管疾病延迟发病。
