International Circulation: What do you think some of the important topics or hot topics could be here at ACC? Or presently, here in hypertension are right now? 《国际循环》：您认为这次ACC年会有什么样的热点话题？或者目前在高血压方面有什么热点吗？ Prof. Norman Kaplan: Well, I think everyone is obviously most concerned with about how we treat hypertension. There are a number of clinical trials that are being discussed at this meeting and a number of others that have been recently published. And, I think, what we are increasingly aware of is the need to use at least two, and sometimes more, different medications to treat hypertension. I think there is awareness that one medication is usually not adequate. So, we are beginning to see a number of trials where they’ve combine two particularly effective medications to compare one against the other. One of the things we have learned is that there is a need for a diuretic. I recently saw a paper from China in which they looked at salt sensitivity in a number of Chinese people and noted that there was a very high prevalence of being sensitive to the effects of sodium, and for that reason I think a diuretic will probably be an important part of the treatment of most people in China with the hypertension.
