International Circulation: What part do you see CardioSmart playing in all of this?
Dr Zoghbi: CardioSmart is really our flagship if you will. Our message to individuals is: Be smart. Be CardioSmart. This is an initiative of the American College of Cardiology to improve health not only from physician-prescribed medications but educating the patient or the individual about cardiovascular health and what good health habits are while improving the relationship between the physician or healthcare professional and the patient; engaging them because the more engaged they are in how to do things and how to improve the situation， the greater the impact will be. It might be through compliance to medications or health habits. CardioSmart is on the web. In the US it is a text messaging service for individuals to stop smoking in multiple languages. It is also a text service for individuals who might not be too compliant with medications or forget. It is free and I think that is really what we need to do. At the same time， we give tools to the physician， such as the CardioSmart app for physicians， to explain to their patients what a disease process is， why it is important， how they can live with their disease and actually live well.
《国际循环》：您认为CardioSmart在所有这些努力中起何作用？
Dr Zoghbi：如果愿意的话，可以将CardioSmart看做我们的旗舰产品。我们对个人的信息是：做个聪明的人，做个CardioSmart的人。这是美国心脏病学学会的一个倡议，旨在不仅从医生处方的药物还要通过就心血管健康和什么是良好的卫生习惯来教育患者或个体来改善健康，同时改善医生或医疗专业人士与患者之间的关系；吸引他们的兴趣，因为在如何开展工作以及如何改善这种情况上他们参与的越多，则影响将会越大。这可能是通过对药物或健康习惯的依从性。CardioSmart有其网络。在美国，它是针对个体戒烟的多国语言文本消息服务。对可能对药物不太依从或者忘记的个体，它还是一种文本服务。它是免费的，我认为这正是我们所要做的。同时，我们为医师提供工具，如医师版CardioSmart应用程序，以向患者解释疾病的过程，它为何重要，他们如何带病生活以及实际上如何生活得很好。
