The amount of salt in the diet did not influence the relationship between potassium and cardiovascular events in men or women, the researchers found.

研究人员发现，男性或女性的盐摄入量并不影响钾与心血管疾病之间的关系。

And they showed that, in fact, compared to a placebo, that this medicine could prevent recurrent cardiovascular events.

他们表明，事实上，与安慰剂相比，这种药物可以预防复发性心血管事件。

Overall, they found that people who had the highest potassium intake had a 13% lower risk of cardiovascular events compared to those with the lowest intake.

总的来说，他们发现钾摄入量最高的人与钾摄入量最低的人相比，发生心血管疾病的风险降低13%。

The idea here is that if you can control these, you should be able to lower your risk of having additional cardiovascular events.

这里的想法是，如果你能控制这些，你应该能够降低发生额外心血管事件的风险。

" The relationship between potassium and cardiovascular events was the same regardless of salt intake, suggesting that potassium has other ways of protecting the heart on top of increasing sodium excretion."

“无论摄入多少盐，钾与心血管疾病之间的关系都是相同的，这表明钾除了促进钠的代谢外，还有其他保护心脏的方法。”

Now it find that patients who took the drug had 20 per cent less chance of suffering a cardiovascular event such as a heart attack or a stroke than those who received a placebo.

现在研究发现， 服用该药物的患者比服用安慰剂的患者患心脏病或中风等心血管事件的几率降低了 20%。

Overall there was about a 33 percent reduction in risk for heart attacks, strokes and other major cardiovascular events in those who received the flu shot, compared to those who'd received a placebo or just the standard of care, said Udell.

相比接受安慰剂或只是标准护理的人来说, 接种流感疫苗的人患心脏病，中风及其它主要心血管疾病的风险整体下降大约33%。尤戴尔说道。
