<International Circulation>:   China has very much a developing health system with a heavy population burden and a vast land mass. Do you think telemedicine can be applied in China to reduce the stress on the wards? 
    Dr Riccardo Cappato: I think it would be particularly helpful in those areas which are most remote because it will facilitate the access for hospital checkups， monitoring and therapy.  Furthermore， it will limit the obstacles represented by geographical distances and with it economical considerations. Because， travelling to the closest hospital in these remote areas is a necessity not everybody can afford and having the opportunity to give just a phone call or find an intermediate telemedicine based way to report your condition to the closest physician is a good way to compensate for those obstacles.

  《国际循环》：中国人口众多，地域辽阔，医疗卫生系统正在发展建设当中。您认为心血管远程医疗能够用于中国来减轻病房的压力吗？
   Cappato教授：我认为，心血管远程医疗对于非常偏远的地区尤其有帮助。因为远程医疗能够促进医院的检查、监测和治疗。另外，远程医疗会跨越地理距离所带来的阻隔，也符合经济需求。因为在偏远地区，虽然患者有必要到最近的医院去就诊，但不是每位患者都能做到。如果患者只需要打个电话或通过远程医疗的方式向离自己最近的医生报告情况，那么这是克服上述障碍的一个好方法。
