<International Circulation>: I am with Prof Allen. Prof Allen, some studies show that admission to the hospital for heart failure will recur with a 30 to 50 % mortality rate in the next year. What is the major reason for that outcome?
<International Circulation>: When a patient is admitted to the hospital their environment changes, which may be an emotional event; is there also an emotional aspect to markers you mentioned?
《国际循环》:当一个患者入院治疗,他们的环境发生了变化,是否同时他们的情感也发生了改变?
Prof Allen : Certainly I think it makes patients confront their disease more directly. On a day to day basis they may have mild symptoms and have to take their medications but if they are so sick that they are in the hospital, then I think that underneath people understand that potentially their disease is worse and they are confronting higher risks, a change in life, and potentially death.
Dr Allen:这是肯定的,我认为这样做会让患者更直接地面对他们的疾病。日复一日地,当身体出现轻微的症状时他们会服药,但如果他们虚弱到要入院治疗时,我认为患者会意识到他们的病情恶化了,他们面临更高的风险,生活发生变化,甚至是死亡。
