Hypertension Drugs Found to Cut Risk of Stroke
Australian doctors declared Monday that a cocktail of simple antihypertensive drugs can lower the risk of patients suffering a repeat stroke by more than a third.This is the result of their research.The research, presented at a medical conference in Italy over the weekend,has been valued highly as a major breakthrough in stroke prevention.
Strokes kill 5 million people a year,and more than 15 million suffer non-fatal strokes that often leave them with useless limbs,slurred speech and other serious disabilities.One in five stroke survivors goes on to have a second,often fatal,stroke within five years of the first.
An international six-year study of 6,100 patients directed from Sydney University found that by taking two blood pressure-lowering drugs,the risk of secondary strokes can be reduced by up to 40 percent.Even taking one of the commonly available drugs can cut the risk by a third,the study said.The drugs are the diuretic indapamide ( 吲达帕胺）and the ACE inhibitor perindopril , better known by its brand name Cover- syl.The combination was effective even in patients who did not have high blood pressure,the researchers said.They even found that the risk of another stroke could be cut by three quarters among the one-in-ten pa- tients who had suffered a cerebral hemorrhage（出血）, the worst type of stroke , where there is direct bleeding into the brain.
Stephen McMahon,who presented the research at the Milan congress of the European Society of Hypertension,said about 50 million people were alive who had suffered at least one stroke."If most of those patients were able to get access to this treatment,it would result in maybe the avoidance of half a million strokes a year,"the professor told Australia's ABC Radio.
McMahon said doctors had long known that lowering the blood pressure of those with hypertension could help prevent strokes."What we have shown for the first time is that it does not really matter what your blood pressure is;if you have had a stroke,then lowering blood pressure will produce large benefits,to begin with-even for people whose blood pressure is average or below average,"he said.
McMahon said the Milan gathering had heralded the research as a"major breakthrough in the care of patients with strokes-perhaps the biggest step forward that we have made in the last couple of decades."
How many strokes may be reduced in a year if most of stroke patients can be treated in the way as the article recommends?
A.5,000,000.
B.500,000.
C.50,000,000.
D.15,000,000.

Hypertension Drugs Found to Cut Risk of Stroke
Australian doctors declared Monday that a cocktail of simple antihypertensive drugs can lower the risk of
patients suffering a repeat stroke by more than a third.This is the result of their research.The research,
presented at a medical conference in Italy over the weekend,has been valued highly as a major breakthrough
in stroke prevention.
Strokes kill 5 million people a year,and more than 15 million suffer non-fatal strokes that often leave
them with useless limbs,slurred speech and other serious disabilities.One in five stroke survivors goes on to
have a second,often fatal,stroke within five years of the first.
An international six-year study of 6,100 patients directed from Sydney University found that by taking
two blood pressure-lowering drugs,the risk of secondary strokes can be reduced by up to 40 percent.Even
taking one of the commonly available drugs can cut the risk by a third,the study said.The drugs are the diu-
retic indapamide( 吲达帕胺）and the ACE inhibitor perindopril , better known by its brand name Coversyl.
The combination was effective even in patients who did not have high blood pressure,the researchers said.
They even found that the risk of another stroke could be cut by three quarters among the one-in-ten patients
who had suffered a cerebral hemorrhage（出血）, the worst type of stroke , where there is direct bleeding into
the brain.
Stephen McMahon,who presented the research at the Milan congress of the European Society of
Hypertension,said about 50 million people were alive who had suffered at least one stroke."If most of those
patients were able to get access to this treatment,it would result in maybe the avoidance of haff a million
strokes a year,"the professor told Australia's ABC Radio.
McMahon said doctors had long known that lowering the blood pressure of those with hypertension could
help prevent strokes."What we have shown for the first time is that it does not really matter what your blood
pressure is;if you have had a stroke,then lowering blood pressure will produce large benefits,to begin

McMahon said the Milan gathering had heralded the research as a"major breakthrough in the care of
patients with strokes一perhaps the biggest step forward that we have made in the last couple of decades."
What patients among those who have a stroke will benefit greatly from taking blood pressure-lowering drugs?
A.Those whose blood pressure is high.
B.Those whose blood pressure is average.
C.Those whose blood pressure is below average.
D.All of the above.

Survey Found Many Women Misinformed About Cancer Sixty-three percent of American women think that if there's no family history of cancer,they're not likely to develop the disease,a new survey found. In fact,most people who develop cancer have no family history of cancer,according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists ( ACO
G)（美国妇产科医师学会）,which sponsored the survey.
"Too many women are dying from cancer,"Dr.Douglas W.Laube,ACOG's immediate past president, said during a Friday teleconference."An estimated 200,070 women will die in the U.S.this year,and over 600 , 078 women will be diagnosed with cancer.The results of this survey found a worrisome（令人担忧的） gap in women's knowledge about cancer."
Based on the findings,ACOG is increasing its efforts to educate women about cancer and the need for regular screening tests.
Although the survey found many misconceptions（错误观念）about cancer , 76 percent of women surveyed did say they feel knowledgeable about how they can reduce their risk of the disease. However,only 52 percent said they were doing enough to reduce that risk.And 10 percent said they hadn't done anything in the past years to lower their risk.17 percent said they wouldn't change their lifestyles, even if changes would lower their cancer risk. Many women said they were afraid to undergo screening out of fear of finding cancer.
Twenty percent said they didn't want to know if they had cancer. In response to these findings,ACOG will launch on Oct.29 a new website-Protect & Detect:What Women Should Know about Cancer.The guide is designed to help women to take charge of their health and improve their understanding of their risk of cancer-and the lifestyle steps they can take to cut that risk.
ACOG's efforts to educate women about cancer will be greatly appreciated.
A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Not mentioned
