惊人却真实：死于心脏疾病的女性多过男男性，多年来的心脏调查都专注于男性。先驱医师诺埃尔·柏瑞·默茨(Noel Bairey Merz）分享有关妇女的心脏健康，有我们知道的也有不知道的-包括妇女在心脏病发作中一些显著的不同症状（这也是为什么经常被人忽视的原因）。

One out of two of you women
0
0
3000
二分之一的女性
00:18
will be impacted by cardiovascular disease
1
3000
2000
一生中会受到心血管疾病
00:20
in your lifetime.
2
5000
3000
的影响。
00:23
So this is the leading killer of women.
3
8000
4000
这是女性的头号杀手。
00:27
It's a closely held secret
4
12000
2000
我不知道为什么
00:29
for reasons I don't know.
5
14000
3000
不为人所知。
00:32
In addition to making this personal --
6
17000
3000
除了针对个人以外--
00:35
so we're going to talk about your relationship with your heart
7
20000
2000
我们要谈论你与你心脏的关系，
00:37
and all women's relationship with their heart --
8
22000
3000
所有女性与心脏的关系--
00:40
we're going to wax into the politics.
9
25000
2000
我们要铸进政治中去。
00:42
Because the personal, as you know, is political.
10
27000
3000
因为个人呢，也是政治化的。
00:45
And not enough is being done about this.
11
30000
3000
在这一点上做得还不够。
00:48
And as we have watched women
12
33000
2000
我们都曾经见过
00:50
conquer breast cancer
13
35000
2000
借助乳腺癌的宣传
00:52
through the breast cancer campaign,
14
37000
2000
女性在征服乳腺癌。
00:54
this is what we need to do now with heart.
15
39000
3000
现在我们也应当这样来对待我们的心脏。
00:57
Since 1984,
16
42000
2000
从1984年以来
00:59
more women die in the U.S. than men.
17
44000
4000
在美国，女性的死亡率高于男性。
01:03
So where we used to think of heart disease
18
48000
3000
我们那时都习惯认为
01:06
as being a man's problem primarily --
19
51000
3000
心脏病是男性的主要问题-
01:09
which that was never true,
20
54000
2000
其实从来就不正确。
01:11
but that was kind of how everybody thought in the 1950s and '60s,
21
56000
3000
但20世纪五，六十年代人人都这样认为，
01:14
and it was in all the textbooks.
22
59000
2000
并且课本里都是这样的。
01:16
It's certainly what I learned when I was training.
23
61000
3000
我受训的时候就是这样学的。
01:19
If we were to remain sexist, and that was not right,
24
64000
3000
五六十年代那种含有性别歧视色彩的观点是不对的。
01:22
but if we were going to go forward and be sexist,
25
67000
3000
可是，为了讨论这个问题，就让我们站在女性立场上吧。
01:25
it's actually a woman's disease.
26
70000
2000
心脏疾病实际就是女性的疾病。
01:27
So it's a woman's disease now.
27
72000
2000
现在是女性的疾病。
01:29
And one of the things that you see
28
74000
2000
有一件事情你看到的是，
01:31
is that male line,
29
76000
2000
这条男性线上的
01:33
the mortality is going down, down, down, down, down.
30
78000
2000
死亡率一直在下降，下降，下降。
01:35
And you see the female line since 1984,
31
80000
3000
从1984年来，女性这条线，
01:38
the gap is widening.
32
83000
2000
差距在加宽。
01:40
More and more women, two, three, four times more women,
33
85000
3000
越来越多的女性，死于心脏疾病的
01:43
dying of heart disease than men.
34
88000
3000
比男性多两倍，三倍或四倍。
01:46
And that's too short of a time period
35
91000
2000
在这个太短的时间内，
01:48
for all the different risk factors that we know
36
93000
2000
我们有诸多的不同威胁因素
01:50
to change.
37
95000
2000
要改变。
01:52
So what this really suggested to us
38
97000
2000
所以，这就建议我们
01:54
at the national level
39
99000
2000
采取国家级别的
01:56
was that diagnostic and therapeutic strategies,
40
101000
4000
诊断和治疗策略，
02:00
which had been developed in men, by men, for men
41
105000
3000
因为在过去的50年里曾被男性开发，
02:03
for the last 50 years --
42
108000
2000
也为男性服务，
02:05
and they work pretty well in men, don't they? --
43
110000
3000
它们也起了很好的作用，是不是？
02:08
weren't working so well for women.
44
113000
3000
但，女性们没得到什么好处。
02:11
So that was a big wake-up call
45
116000
2000
那是80年代的
02:13
in the 1980's.
46
118000
2000
一个大警钟。
02:15
Heart disease kills more women
47
120000
3000
无论哪个年龄段，
02:18
at all ages
48
123000
2000
女性的心脏病死亡率
02:20
than breast cancer.
49
125000
2000
都高于乳腺癌。
02:22
And the breast cancer campaign --
50
127000
2000
虽然乳腺癌作了宣传活动，
02:24
again, this is not a competition.
51
129000
2000
但这不是竞争。
02:26
We're trying to be as good as the breast cancer campaign.
52
131000
3000
我们要做像乳腺癌同样好的宣传活动。
02:29
We need to be as good as the breast cancer campaign
53
134000
3000
我们需要做和乳腺癌同样好的活动
02:32
to address this crisis.
54
137000
2000
来解决这场危机。
02:34
Now sometimes when people see this,
55
139000
2000
有时，人们看到这些
02:36
I hear this gasp.
56
141000
2000
就会叹气.
02:38
We can all think of someone,
57
143000
2000
我们可以想到某个人，
02:40
often a young woman,
58
145000
2000
常常是一位很年轻的妇女
02:42
who has been impacted by breast cancer.
59
147000
3000
会受乳腺癌的影响。
02:45
We often can't think of a young woman
60
150000
2000
我们却不会想到一位年轻的妇女
02:47
who has heart disease.
61
152000
2000
会得心脏病。
02:49
I'm going to tell you why.
62
154000
2000
我要告诉大家为什么这样。
02:51
Heart disease kills people,
63
156000
2000
心脏病发作死亡,
02:53
often very quickly.
64
158000
2000
经常很快。
02:55
So the first time heart disease strikes in women and men,
65
160000
3000
所以心脏病第一次袭击男性和女性，
02:58
half of the time it's sudden cardiac death --
66
163000
3000
半数是心源性猝死--
03:01
no opportunity to say good-bye,
67
166000
2000
没机会说再见,
03:03
no opportunity to take her to the chemotherapy,
68
168000
2000
没机会带她去做化疗，
03:05
no opportunity to help her pick out a wig.
69
170000
3000
没机会帮她挑选假发。
03:08
Breast cancer,
70
173000
2000
乳腺癌
03:10
mortality is down to four percent.
71
175000
3000
死亡率下降了4个百分点。
03:13
And that is the 40 years
72
178000
2000
这就是40年来
03:15
that women have advocated.
73
180000
4000
妇女呼吁的结果。
03:19
Betty Ford, Nancy Reagan stood up
74
184000
3000
贝蒂•福特，南希.里根曾经站起来
03:22
and said, "I'm a breast cancer survivor,"
75
187000
2000
说：“我是乳腺癌的幸存者，”
03:24
and it was okay to talk about it.
76
189000
2000
这是可以谈论的。
03:26
And then physicians have gone to bat.
77
191000
2000
于是，医师们就去着手。
03:28
We've done the research.
78
193000
2000
我们做了调查。
03:30
We have effective therapies now.
79
195000
2000
我们现在拥有有效的疗法。
03:32
Women are living longer than ever.
80
197000
2000
女性比以前更长寿。
03:34
That has to happen in heart disease, and it's time.
81
199000
3000
对待心脏病也应该这样，是时候了。
03:37
It's not happening, and it's time.
82
202000
3000
现在还没做什么，是时候了。
03:42
We owe an incredible debt of gratitude
83
207000
2000
我们对这两位女性
03:44
to these two women.
84
209000
2000
欠下感激之债。
03:46
As Barbara depicted
85
211000
2000
就像芭芭拉
03:48
in one of her amazing movies, "Yentl,"
86
213000
4000
在她的一部很棒的电影《燕特尔》“Yentl”里
03:52
she portrayed a young woman
87
217000
2000
刻画了一位年轻的女性
03:54
who wanted an education.
88
219000
3000
想要受教育。
03:57
And she wanted to study the Talmud.
89
222000
2000
她想学习犹太法典。
03:59
And so how did she get educated then?
90
224000
2000
那她怎么样接受的教育呢？
04:01
She had to impersonate a man.
91
226000
2000
她必需得装扮成男人。
04:03
She had to look like a man.
92
228000
2000
她必需看上去像个男人。
04:05
She had to make other people believe that she looked like a man
93
230000
3000
她必需让别人相信她像个男人，
04:08
and she could have the same rights
94
233000
2000
她有男人该有的
04:10
that the men had.
95
235000
2000
同样的权利。
04:12
Bernadine Healy, Dr. Healy,
96
237000
3000
伯纳丁·希利，
04:15
was a cardiologist.
97
240000
2000
希利医师是个心脏病学家。
04:17
And right around that time, in the 1980's,
98
242000
3000
当时是1980年代，
04:20
that we saw women and heart disease deaths
99
245000
2000
我们看到女性心脏病死亡
04:22
going up, up, up, up, up,
100
247000
2000
一直上升，上升，上升,
04:24
she wrote an editorial
101
249000
2000
她在新英格兰医学杂志上
04:26
in the New England Journal of Medicine
102
251000
2000
写了一篇社论，
04:28
and said, the Yentl syndrome.
103
253000
3000
说到燕特尔综合症。
04:31
Women are dying of heart disease,
104
256000
2000
死于心脏病的女性
04:33
two, three, four times more than men.
105
258000
3000
是男性的两倍，三倍或四倍。
04:36
Mortality is not going down, it's going up.
106
261000
3000
死亡率没有下降，而在上升。
04:39
And she questioned,
107
264000
2000
她质疑过，
04:41
she hypothesized,
108
266000
2000
她假设过
04:43
is this a Yentl syndrome?
109
268000
2000
这是一种燕特尔综合症吗？
04:45
And here's what the story is.
110
270000
2000
故事是这样的。
04:47
Is it because women don't look like men,
111
272000
3000
因为女性长的不像男性，
04:50
they don't look like that male-pattern heart disease
112
275000
3000
她们的心脏病不像男性模式，
04:53
that we've spent the last 50 years understanding
113
278000
3000
她们没有我们研究了50年而理解的
04:56
and getting really good diagnostics
114
281000
2000
真正好的诊断
04:58
and really good therapeutics,
115
283000
2000
和真正好的治疗。
05:00
and therefore, they're not recognized for their heart disease.
116
285000
2000
因此，她们的心脏病没被公认。
05:02
And they're just passed.
117
287000
2000
她们就这样走了。
05:04
They don't get treated, they don't get detected,
118
289000
3000
她们没得到医治，她们没被检测，
05:07
they don't get the benefit of all the modern medicines.
119
292000
3000
她们没有得益于所有的现代医药。
05:10
Doctor Healy then subsequently became
120
295000
2000
希利医师后来成为
05:12
the first female director
121
297000
2000
美国国家卫生部的
05:14
of our National Institutes of Health.
122
299000
2000
首位女部长。
05:16
And this is the biggest biomedical enterprise research
123
301000
3000
这是世界上最大的
05:19
in the world.
124
304000
2000
生物医学企业研究。
05:21
And it funds a lot of my research.
125
306000
2000
我的许多研究是由它赞助的。
05:23
It funds research all over the place.
126
308000
2000
它赞助的研究到处都有。
05:25
It was a very big deal
127
310000
2000
她当部长
05:27
for her to become director.
128
312000
2000
是很轰动一时的。
05:29
And she started,
129
314000
2000
她开始的时候，
05:31
in the face of a lot of controversy,
130
316000
2000
面临了许多
05:33
the Women's Health Initiative.
131
318000
2000
对女性健康倡议的争议。
05:35
And every woman in the room here
132
320000
2000
在座的每一位女性
05:37
has benefited from that Women's Health Initiative.
133
322000
2000
都得益于妇女健康倡议。
05:39
It told us about hormone replacement therapy.
134
324000
3000
它告诉我们激素替代疗法。
05:42
It's informed us about osteoporosis.
135
327000
2000
它告诉我们骨质疏松症。
05:44
It informed us about breast cancer, colon cancer in women.
136
329000
3000
它告诉我们女性的乳腺癌，大肠癌。
05:47
So a tremendous fund of knowledge
137
332000
3000
尽管有巨大的知识积累
05:50
despite, again,
138
335000
2000
但还是
05:52
that so many people told her not to do it,
139
337000
2000
有许多人告诉她不要去做，
05:54
it was too expensive.
140
339000
2000
因为它太昂贵了。
05:56
And the under-reading was women aren't worth it.
141
341000
3000
字里行间是说女性不值得。
05:59
She was like, "Nope. Sorry. Women are worth it."
142
344000
3000
她当时说，“不是，抱歉，女性是值得的。”
06:02
Well there was a little piece of that Women's Health Initiative
143
347000
3000
于是有一小部分的妇女健康倡议，
06:05
that went to National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute,
144
350000
2000
进入到国家心脏，肺和血液研究所
06:07
which is the cardiology part of the NIH.
145
352000
3000
就是国家卫生研究院的心脏学部分。
06:10
And we got to do the WISE study --
146
355000
2000
我们去做的WISE研究--
06:12
and the WISE stands for Women's Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation --
147
357000
4000
WISE代表妇女缺血综合症评估--
06:16
and I have chaired this study for the last 15 years.
148
361000
2000
我已经主持这项研究达15年之久。
06:18
It was a study to specifically ask,
149
363000
3000
这个研究在明确地问，
06:21
what's going on with women?
150
366000
2000
妇女到底怎么了？
06:23
Why are more and more women dying
151
368000
2000
为什么越来越多的女性死于
06:25
of ischemic heart disease?
152
370000
2000
缺铁性心脏病。
06:27
So in the WISE, 15 years ago,
153
372000
3000
15年前，在妇女缺血综合症评估里，
06:30
we started out and said, "Well wow, there's a couple of key observations
154
375000
3000
我们开始说，：“好哇，有几个关键的意见，
06:33
and we should probably follow up on that."
155
378000
2000
我们也许应该跟进观察。”
06:35
And our colleagues in Washington, D.C.
156
380000
3000
在华盛顿特区，
06:38
had recently published
157
383000
3000
我们的同行们最近发表文章，
06:41
that when women have heart attacks and die,
158
386000
3000
把女性和男性
06:44
compared to men who have heart attacks and die --
159
389000
3000
因心脏病致死做了比较--
06:47
and again, this is millions of people,
160
392000
2000
仍有成千上万的人
06:49
happening every day --
161
394000
3000
每天还在发生--
06:52
women, in their fatty plaque --
162
397000
2000
女性在她们的脂肪斑块里
06:54
and this is their coronary artery,
163
399000
2000
这是冠状动脉，
06:56
so the main blood supply going into the heart muscle --
164
401000
2000
主要的血液供应进到心脏肌肉时，
06:58
women erode,
165
403000
2000
女性是受侵蚀式，
07:00
men explode.
166
405000
3000
男性是爆炸式。
07:03
You're going to find some interesting analogies
167
408000
2000
你们会在生理学上找到些
07:05
in this physiology.
168
410000
2000
有趣的相似。
07:07
(Laughter)
169
412000
3000
（笑）
07:10
So I'll describe the male-pattern heart attack first.
170
415000
3000
我先来描述一下男性模式的心脏病发作。
07:13
Hollywood heart attack. Ughhhh.
171
418000
2000
好莱坞式的心脏病发作。啊。。。
07:15
Horrible chest pain.
172
420000
2000
可怕的胸口痛。
07:17
EKG goes pbbrrhh,
173
422000
2000
心电图一下子跳上去，
07:19
so the doctors can see this hugely abnormal EKG.
174
424000
3000
所以医生看到的是巨大的异常心电图。
07:22
There's a big clot in the middle of the artery.
175
427000
2000
动脉当中有一个大的血块。
07:24
And they go up to the cath lab
176
429000
2000
他们去到心导管室，
07:26
and boom, boom, boom get rid of the clot.
177
431000
2000
嘭嘭嘭就把血块拿掉。
07:28
That's a man heart attack.
178
433000
2000
那是男性的心脏病发作。
07:30
Some women have those heart attacks,
179
435000
2000
有些女性也是这样，
07:32
but a whole bunch of women have this kind of heart attack,
180
437000
2000
但很多的妇女的心脏病发作是，
07:34
where it erodes,
181
439000
2000
动脉受到侵蚀
07:36
doesn't completely fill with clot, symptoms are subtle,
182
441000
3000
但没有完全被血块阻塞，症状不明显，
07:39
EKG findings are different --
183
444000
2000
心电图也不一样--
07:41
female-pattern.
184
446000
2000
这就是女性模式。
07:43
So what do you think happens to these gals?
185
448000
3000
这些女性会怎么样呢？
07:46
They're often not recognized, sent home.
186
451000
2000
经常是，她们没被识别为心脏病发作，而被送回家。
07:48
I'm not sure what it was. Might have been gas.
187
453000
3000
我不清楚是什么。可能是内部有气体。
07:51
So we picked up on that
188
456000
2000
所以我们会注意到，
07:53
and we said, "You know, we now have the ability
189
458000
3000
说，“我们现在有能力
07:56
to look inside human beings
190
461000
3000
用这些特殊的叫做IVUS的管道
07:59
with these special catheters called IVUS:
191
464000
2000
来透视人体内部:
08:01
intravascular ultrasound."
192
466000
2000
血管内超声检查。”
08:03
And we said, "We're going to hypothesize
193
468000
3000
我们说，“我们要假设
08:06
that the fatty plaque in women
194
471000
3000
女性体内的脂肪斑块
08:09
is actually probably different,
195
474000
2000
与男性的不同，
08:11
and deposited differently, than men."
196
476000
2000
并且存积方式也不同。”
08:13
And because of the common knowledge
197
478000
4000
根据男女
08:17
of how women and men get fat.
198
482000
2000
如何变胖的常识。
08:19
When we watch people become obese,
199
484000
4000
当我们看到人发福，
08:23
where do men get fat?
200
488000
3000
男性胖在哪儿呢？
08:26
Right here, it's just a focal -- right there.
201
491000
4000
就在这，就一个焦点--这里。
08:30
Where do women get fat?
202
495000
3000
女性胖到哪儿呢？
08:33
All over.
203
498000
2000
全身都是。
08:35
Cellulite here, cellulite here.
204
500000
3000
这里一块赘肉，这里一团脂肪。
08:38
So we said, "Look, women look like they're pretty good
205
503000
2000
因此我们说：“看哪，女人们很会
08:40
about putting kind of the garbage away,
206
505000
2000
把这些垃圾分散好，
08:42
smoothly putting it away.
207
507000
2000
分得很顺利。
08:44
Men just have to dump it in a single area."
208
509000
3000
男人只能倒进一个地方。”
08:47
So we said, "Let's look at these."
209
512000
2000
我们说，“来看看这些。”
08:49
And so the yellow is the fatty plaque,
210
514000
3000
黄色是脂肪斑块，
08:52
and panel A is a man.
211
517000
2000
A组是男人。
08:54
And you can see, it's lumpy bumpy.
212
519000
2000
你能看到，是波浪不平的。
08:56
He's got a beer belly in his coronary arteries.
213
521000
3000
在他的冠状动脉里长了个啤酒肚。
08:59
Panel B is the woman, very smooth.
214
524000
2000
B组是女性，非常平滑。
09:01
She's just laid it down nice and tidy.
215
526000
2000
她把它摆得整洁漂亮。
09:03
(Laughter)
216
528000
2000
（笑）
09:05
And if you did that angiogram,
217
530000
2000
如果你做过血管造影，
09:07
which is the red,
218
532000
2000
就是这个红色，
09:09
you can see the man's disease.
219
534000
2000
你可以看到男性的疾病。
09:11
So 50 years
220
536000
2000
经过50年的
09:13
of honing and crafting these angiograms,
221
538000
2000
磨练和制作这些血管造影，
09:15
we easily recognize
222
540000
2000
我们很容易认出
09:17
male-pattern disease.
223
542000
2000
男性模式的疾病。
09:19
Kind of hard to see that female-pattern disease.
224
544000
2000
但难于看到女性模式的疾病。
09:21
So that was a discovery.
225
546000
2000
所以，才有了个发现。
09:23
Now what are the implications of that?
226
548000
3000
言外之意是什么呢？
09:26
Well once again, women get the angiogram
227
551000
2000
就是，女性也做血管造影片，
09:28
and nobody can tell that they have a problem.
228
553000
3000
但没有人能告诉她们有问题。
09:31
So we are working now on a non-invasive --
229
556000
3000
我们在着手于一个非侵略性的研究，--
09:34
again, these are all invasive studies.
230
559000
2000
事实上，这些研究都是侵略性的。
09:36
Ideally you would love to do all this non-invasively.
231
561000
3000
最理想的是，你会想用非侵入法来做这些研究。
09:39
And again, 50 years
232
564000
2000
再重复一遍，五十年的
09:41
of good non-invasive stress testing,
233
566000
2000
很好的非侵入的压力测试，
09:43
we're pretty good at recognizing male-pattern disease
234
568000
2000
我们很在行从这些测试中认出
09:45
with stress tests.
235
570000
2000
男性模式的疾病。
09:47
So this is cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
236
572000
2000
这就是心脏磁共振成像。
09:49
We're doing this at the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute
237
574000
3000
我们在妇女心脏中心的雪松西奈山心脏中心
09:52
in the Women's Heart Center.
238
577000
2000
做这些研究。
09:54
We selected this for the research.
239
579000
3000
我们为这项研究做了选择。
09:57
This is not in your community hospital,
240
582000
2000
这虽然不是你的社区医院，
09:59
but we would hope to translate this.
241
584000
2000
我们希望能传递相同的信息。
10:01
And we're about two and a half years
242
586000
2000
我们为期5年的研究
10:03
into a five-year study.
243
588000
2000
已进行了一半。
10:05
This was the only modality
244
590000
2000
这是能看到心脏内膜的
10:07
that can see the inner lining of the heart.
245
592000
2000
唯一模式。
10:09
And if you look carefully, you can see
246
594000
2000
如果你仔细看，
10:11
that there's a black blush right there.
247
596000
2000
会看到这里有个黑黑的血块。
10:13
And that is microvascular obstruction.
248
598000
3000
那就是微血管阻塞。
10:16
The syndrome, the female-pattern
249
601000
3000
这种女性模式的症状
10:19
now is called microvascular coronary dysfunction, or obstruction.
250
604000
4000
就叫做冠状动脉微血管功能障碍或阻塞。
10:23
The second reason we really liked MRI
251
608000
3000
我们喜欢核磁共振成像的第二个原因
10:26
is that there's no radiation.
252
611000
2000
是它没有辐射。
10:28
So unlike the CAT scans, X-rays, thalliums,
253
613000
3000
不像计算机辅助测试扫描，X光片，铊扫描等
10:31
for women
254
616000
2000
因为女性
10:33
whose breast is in the way
255
618000
2000
每次做心脏测试
10:35
of looking at the heart,
256
620000
2000
都会考虑对乳房的影响，
10:37
every time we order something that has even a small amount of radiation,
257
622000
3000
哪怕小数量的辐射，
10:40
we say, "Do we really need that test?"
258
625000
2000
我们也会说：“真有做这个测试的必要吗？”
10:42
So we're very excited about M.R.
259
627000
2000
我们对核磁共振非常兴奋。
10:44
You can't go and order it yet,
260
629000
2000
你们还不能现在就去使用它，
10:46
but this is an area of active inquiry
261
631000
2000
但这是个积极探究的领域，
10:48
where actually studying women
262
633000
2000
对女性的研究
10:50
is going to advance the field for women and men.
263
635000
3000
将推进男性和女性的领域。
10:54
What are the downstream consequences
264
639000
3000
女性模式心脏病的
10:57
then, when female-pattern heart disease
265
642000
3000
未被识别的后果
11:00
is not recognized?
266
645000
2000
是如何呢？
11:02
This is a figure
267
647000
2000
这个数据
11:04
from an editorial that I published
268
649000
2000
是从我去年发表在
11:06
in the European Heart Journal this last summer.
269
651000
3000
欧洲心脏杂志上的一片社论来的。
11:09
And it was just a pictogram
270
654000
2000
这个象形图
11:11
to sort of show
271
656000
2000
显示，
11:13
why more women are dying of heart disease,
272
658000
2000
尽管我们知道
11:15
despite these good treatments
273
660000
2000
很多的有效的治疗法，
11:17
that we know and we have work.
274
662000
3000
为什么还有更多的女性死于心脏病。
11:20
And when the woman
275
665000
2000
当女性出现
11:22
has male-pattern disease --
276
667000
2000
男性模式的病症--
11:24
so she looks like Barbara in the movie --
277
669000
3000
就像电影里的芭芭拉一样，
11:27
they get treated.
278
672000
2000
她们才会得到医治。
11:29
And when you have female-pattern and you look like a woman,
279
674000
3000
当你有女性模式的症状，但你看上去也是女性
11:32
as Barbara does here with her husband,
280
677000
3000
就像芭芭拉和她丈夫，
11:35
they don't get the treatment.
281
680000
2000
他们就得不到医治。
11:37
These are our life-saving treatments.
282
682000
2000
这些都是挽救生命的疗法。
11:39
And those little red boxes are deaths.
283
684000
3000
这些小红框子是死亡的。
11:42
So those are the consequences.
284
687000
2000
这些是后果。
11:44
And that is female-pattern
285
689000
2000
那个是女性模式，
11:46
and why we think the Yentl syndrome
286
691000
2000
并且我们认为燕特尔综合症
11:48
actually is explaining
287
693000
2000
也确实解释了
11:50
a lot of these gaps.
288
695000
3000
这些差距。
11:53
There's been wonderful news also
289
698000
3000
对于研究女性方面
11:56
about studying women,
290
701000
2000
有很多好消息，
11:58
finally, in heart disease.
291
703000
2000
最后终于轮到心脏病了。
12:00
And one of the the cutting-edge areas
292
705000
2000
还有一个
12:02
that we're just incredibly excited about
293
707000
2000
让我们异常兴奋的前沿领域
12:04
is stem cell therapy.
294
709000
2000
是干细胞疗法。
12:06
If you ask, what is the big difference
295
711000
3000
如果你问，在生理上
12:09
between women and men physiologically?
296
714000
2000
女性与男性的大的不同之处在哪？
12:11
Why are there women and men?
297
716000
3000
为什么会有女性和男性？
12:14
Because women bring new life into the world.
298
719000
3000
因为女性把新生命带到世上。
12:17
That's all stem cells.
299
722000
2000
这全是干细胞。
12:19
So we hypothesized
300
724000
2000
我们假定
12:21
that female stem cells might be better
301
726000
3000
女性干细胞会很好地
12:24
at identifying the injury,
302
729000
3000
鉴别损伤，
12:27
doing some cellular repair
303
732000
2000
做些细胞修补
12:29
or even producing new organs,
304
734000
2000
或产生新的器官，
12:31
which is one of the things
305
736000
2000
这就是我们正在尝试
12:33
that we're trying to do with stem cell therapy.
306
738000
3000
用干细胞疗法做到的。
12:36
These are female and male stem cells.
307
741000
3000
这就是女性和男性干细胞。
12:39
And if you had an injured organ,
308
744000
2000
如果你的器官受损，
12:41
if you had a heart attack
309
746000
2000
或你心脏病发作，
12:43
and we wanted to repair that injured area,
310
748000
3000
我们想修复受伤的地方，
12:46
do you want those robust,
311
751000
2000
你想不想最先用
12:48
plentiful stem cells on the top?
312
753000
3000
这些强健又足够的干细胞？
12:51
Or do you want these guys,
313
756000
2000
或者，你想他们
12:53
that look like they're out to lunch?
314
758000
2000
这样无精打采呢？
12:55
(Laughter)
315
760000
2000
（笑）
12:57
And some of our investigative teams
316
762000
3000
我们的一些调查团队
13:00
have demonstrated
317
765000
2000
曾展示
13:02
that female stem cells --
318
767000
2000
女性干细胞--
13:04
and this is in animals
319
769000
2000
这是动物的
13:06
and increasingly we're showing this in humans --
320
771000
2000
并且在人类也有增长-
13:08
that female stem cells,
321
773000
2000
就是当我们把女性干细胞
13:10
when put even into a male body,
322
775000
2000
注入男性体内，
13:12
do better than male stem cells
323
777000
3000
它们比男性干细胞
13:15
going into a male body.
324
780000
2000
工作得更好。
13:17
One of the things that we say
325
782000
2000
我们讲的
13:19
about all of this female physiology --
326
784000
2000
女性生理之一
13:21
because again, as much as we're talking about women and heart disease,
327
786000
3000
因为我们在谈论女性与心脏病，
13:24
women do, on average,
328
789000
2000
通常女性
13:26
have better longevity than men --
329
791000
2000
比男性长寿。
13:28
is that unfolding the secrets of female physiology
330
793000
3000
揭示和认识女性的
13:31
and understanding that
331
796000
2000
生理秘密
13:33
is going to help men and women.
332
798000
3000
将会帮助男性和女性。
13:36
So this is not a zero-sum game in anyway.
333
801000
3000
这不是零合的游戏。
13:39
Okay, so here's where we started.
334
804000
2000
好，我们从这里开始。
13:41
And remember, paths crossed in 1984,
335
806000
4000
请记住，交叉点是在1984年，
13:45
and more and more women
336
810000
2000
越来越多的女性
13:47
were dying of cardiovascular disease.
337
812000
2000
死于心脏病。
13:49
What has happened in the last 15 years with this work?
338
814000
3000
在过去的15年里都做了些什么？
13:52
We are bending the curve.
339
817000
2000
这个曲线在打弯。
13:54
We're bending the curve.
340
819000
2000
我们在折弯这条曲线。
13:56
So just like the breast cancer story,
341
821000
3000
就像乳腺癌的故事，
13:59
doing research, getting awareness going,
342
824000
3000
做些调查，让更多人认识到，
14:02
it works, you just have to get it going.
343
827000
3000
它管用的，我们必须继续做下去。
14:05
Now are we happy with this?
344
830000
2000
现在我们满意吗？
14:07
We still have two to three more women dying for every man.
345
832000
3000
女性的死亡率仍是男性的两到三倍。
14:10
And I would propose,
346
835000
2000
那我提议，
14:12
with the better longevity
347
837000
2000
总的来说
14:14
that women have overall,
348
839000
2000
女性比较长寿，
14:16
that women probably should theoretically do better,
349
841000
2000
如果我们女性得到医治，
14:18
if we could just get treated.
350
843000
2000
理论上我们的情况会更好。
14:20
So this is where we are,
351
845000
3000
所以这是我们现在的状况，
14:23
but we have a long row to hoe.
352
848000
2000
更艰巨的在后头。
14:25
We've worked on this for 15 years.
353
850000
2000
我们已经工作了15年。
14:27
And I've told you, we've been working on male-pattern heart disease
354
852000
3000
我也说过，我们在男性心脏病上
14:30
for 50 years.
355
855000
2000
已花了50年的时间。
14:32
So we're 35 years behind.
356
857000
2000
我们落后了35年。
14:34
And we'd like to think it's not going to take 35 years.
357
859000
3000
我们愿意相信，不用再花35年的时间。
14:37
And in fact, it probably won't.
358
862000
2000
事实上也许不会。
14:39
But we cannot stop now.
359
864000
2000
现在不能停步。
14:41
Too many lives are at stake.
360
866000
3000
太多生命处于危险。
14:44
So what do we need to do?
361
869000
3000
我们需要做什么？
14:47
You now, hopefully, have a more personal relationship
362
872000
2000
希望大家跟你的心脏有个
14:49
with your heart.
363
874000
2000
更好的个人关系。
14:51
Women have heard the call
364
876000
2000
女性听到了
14:53
for breast cancer
365
878000
2000
乳腺癌的呼声，
14:55
and they have come out
366
880000
2000
大家就出来
14:57
for awareness campaigns.
367
882000
2000
做宣传活动。
14:59
The women are very good about getting mammograms now.
368
884000
3000
女性都知道做乳房X线照片。
15:02
And women do fundraising.
369
887000
2000
女性做筹款活动。
15:04
Women participate.
370
889000
2000
女性积极参与。
15:06
They have put their money where their mouth is
371
891000
2000
她们省吃俭用
15:08
and they have done advocacy and they have joined campaigns.
372
893000
3000
她们参加宣传，她们参加各种活动。
15:11
This is what we need to do with heart disease now.
373
896000
3000
我们对于心脏病也要这样做。
15:14
And it's political.
374
899000
2000
这是政治。
15:16
Women's health, from a federal funding standpoint,
375
901000
3000
从联邦资金的角度看，
15:19
sometimes it's popular,
376
904000
2000
女性健康有时是受重视，
15:21
sometimes it's not so popular.
377
906000
3000
有时不受重视。
15:24
So we have these feast and famine cycles.
378
909000
2000
这就我们有盛宴和饥荒的循环。
15:26
So I implore you
379
911000
2000
我恳求大家
15:28
to join the Red Dress Campaign
380
913000
2000
去参加红衣活动
15:30
in this fundraising.
381
915000
2000
的筹款。
15:32
Breast cancer, as we said,
382
917000
2000
我们说乳腺癌
15:34
kills women,
383
919000
2000
害死妇女，
15:36
but heart disease kills a whole bunch more.
384
921000
3000
但心脏病害死更多。
15:39
So if we can be as good as breast cancer
385
924000
2000
所以，如果我们能做得像乳腺癌那样好，
15:41
and give women this new charge,
386
926000
2000
给女性新的任务，
15:43
we have a lot of lives to save.
387
928000
2000
我们会拯救很多生命。
15:45
So thank you for your attention.
388
930000
2000
谢谢您的关注。
15:47
(Applause)
389
932000
