ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Sandeep Jauhar - Physician, writer
Sandeep Jauhar is a practicing cardiologist passionate about communicating medicine in all its glorious, quirky, inescapable humanity.

Why you should listen

In addition to his medical practice, Dr. Sandeep Jauhar writes about medicine and its impacts on culture for a wide-ranging audience. He is a contributing opinion writer for the New York Times and has written three best-selling books.

His most recent book, Heart: A History (a finalist for the 2019 Wellcome Book prize), tells the little-known story of the doctors who risked their careers -- and the patients who risked their lives -- to understand our most vital organ. Weaving his own experiences with the defining discoveries of the past, Jauhar braids tales of breakthrough, hubris and sorrow to create a lucid chronicle of our life's most intimate chamber. The book also confronts the limits of medical technology, arguing that future progress will be determined more by how we choose to live rather than by any device we invent. Indeed, as the book explains, our emotional lives are absolutely key to our heart health. Jauhar is the Director of the Heart Failure Program at Northwell Health's Long Island Jewish Medical Center.

以研究其对心血管疾病的影响。
09:50
Surprisingly出奇, they found发现 that some rabbits
developed发达 a lot more disease疾病 than others其他,
158
578624
5513
出乎意料的是,他们发现一些
兔子患的病就是比其他兔子多,
09:56
but they couldn't不能 explain说明 why.
159
584161
1619
但他们无法解释为什么。
09:57
The rabbits had very similar类似 diet饮食,
environment环境 and genetic遗传 makeup化妆.
160
585804
5755
这些兔子的饮食结构,
环境和基因构成都是类似的。
10:03
They thought it might威力 have
something to do with
161
591583
2620
他们认为可能和
10:06
how frequently经常 the technician技术员
interacted互动 with the rabbits.
162
594227
4171
技术员跟兔子互动频率有关。
10:10
So they repeated重复 the study研究,
163
598422
1767
所以他们重复了这个研究,
10:12
dividing the rabbits into two groups.
164
600213
2357
把这些兔子分成两组。
10:14
Both groups were fed美联储
a high-cholesterol高胆固醇 diet饮食.
165
602594
2516
两组都吃高胆固醇的食物。
10:17
But in one group, the rabbits
were removed去除 from their cages笼子,
166
605880
4226
但其中一组,兔子被带出笼子,
10:22
held保持, petted宠爱, talked to, played发挥 with,
167
610130
4300
被人们抱着,爱抚着,
和它说话,和它玩耍,
10:26
and in the other group,
the rabbits remained保持 in their cages笼子
168
614454
2829
另一组的兔子则被留在笼子里
10:29
and were left alone单独.
169
617307
1333
不闻不管。
10:31
At one year, on autopsy尸检,
170
619249
3406
一年之后,在对兔子进行解剖时,
10:34
the researchers研究人员 found发现
that the rabbits in the first group,
171
622679
5494
研究者发现第一组的兔子,
10:40
that received收到 human人的 interaction相互作用,
172
628197
1939
那组有人类互动的兔子,
10:42
had 60 percent百分 less aortic主动脉 disease疾病
than rabbits in the other group,
173
630160
6180
主动脉疾病比另一组少60%,
10:48
despite尽管 having similar类似 cholesterol胆固醇 levels水平,
blood血液 pressure压力 and heart rate.
174
636364
5040
尽管有相似的胆固醇水平,
血压和心率。
10:53
Today今天, the care关心 of the heart has become成为
less the province of philosophers哲学家,
175
641704
6126
今天,对心灵的关怀已不再是
哲学家们的专利,
10:59
who dwell upon the heart's心脏的
metaphorical隐喻 meanings含义,
176
647854
4950
他们专注于心灵的隐喻意义,
11:04
and more the domain of doctors医生 like me,
177
652828
3681
并且越来越多的进入
像我这样的医生领域,
11:08
wielding挥舞 technologies技术
that even a century世纪 ago,
178
656533

运用着甚至1个世纪前的技术,
11:11
because of the heart's心脏的 exalted崇高
status状态 in human人的 culture文化,

因为心脏在人类文化中的崇高地位,
11:14
were considered考虑 taboo忌讳.
180
662501
1343
被认为是禁忌。
11:16
In the process处理, the heart
has been transformed改造
181
664225
4235
在这个过程中,心脏
11:20
from an almost几乎 supernatural超自然 object目的
imbued充满 with metaphor隐喻 and meaning含义
182
668484

从充满隐喻和意义的超自然的物体
11:25
into a machine that can be
manipulated操纵 and controlled受控.
183
673596
4391
转变成了可以操纵和控制的机器。
11:31
But this is the key point:
184
679040
2319
但这里有个关键点:
11:33
these manipulations操作, we now understand理解,
185
681383
3161
我们现在明白,这些操纵
11:36
must必须 be complemented补充
by attention注意 to the emotional情绪化 life
186
684568
4918
必须辅以对情感生活的关注,
11:41
that the heart, for thousands数千 of years年份,
was believed相信 to contain包含.
187
689510
3242
毕竟数千年来,人们认为
情感生活包含在心脏之中。
11:45
Consider考虑, for example,
the Lifestyle生活方式 Heart Trial审讯,

比如,《生活方式心脏试验》,

12:21
Control控制 patients耐心, on the other hand,

203

和心脏病相关的死亡。
12:40
Now, here's这里的 an interesting有趣 fact事实:
204
748249
1575
有一个有趣的事实:
12:42
some patients耐心 in the control控制 group
adopted采用 diet饮食 and exercise行使 plans计划
205
750719
5294
对照组的一些患者采用

几乎与生活方式密集组
的患者一样多。
12:53
Their heart disease疾病 still progressed进展.
207
761203
2086
他们的心脏疾病仍然在持续。
12:56
Diet饮食 and exercise行使 alone单独 were not enough足够
to facilitate促进 coronary冠状动脉 disease疾病 regression回归.
208
764900
5330
单靠饮食和运动不足以促进
冠状动脉疾病的消退。
13:02
At both one-一- and five-year五年 follow-ups后续行动,
209
770738
2804
在1年和5年的随访中,
13:06
stress强调 management管理

210

人们发现相比锻炼,压力管理

与冠状动脉疾病的逆转
13:11
than exercise行使 was.
212
779595
1528
更加紧密相关。
13:14
No doubt怀疑, this and similar类似
studies学习 are small,
213
782001
3617
毫无疑问,这项研究和
类似的研究规模都很小,
13:17
and, of course课程, correlation相关
does not prove证明 causation因果关系.
214
785642
3181
当然,相关性并不能证明因果关系。
13:20
It's certainly当然 possible可能 that stress强调
leads引线 to unhealthy不良 habits习惯,
215
788847
4358
当然可能压力导致不健康习惯,
13:25
and that's the real真实 reason原因
for the increased增加 cardiovascular心血管 risk风险.
216
793229
3279
是心血管风险增加的真正原因。
13:28
But as with the association协会
of smoking抽烟 and lung cancer癌症,
217
796532
3601
但就像吸烟和肺癌的关系一样,
13:32
when so many许多 studies学习 show显示 the same相同 thing,
218
800157
3257
当如此多的研究都显示了同样的事情,
13:35
and when there are mechanisms机制
to explain说明 a causal因果 relationship关系,
219
803438
3410
当存在解释因果关系的机制时,
13:38
it seems似乎 capricious任性 to deny拒绝
that one probably大概 exists存在.
220
806872
4411
否定一个可能存在
的说法是不负责任的。
13:43
What many许多 doctors医生 have concluded总结
is what I, too, have learned学到了
221
811798
3679
许多医生得出的结论,也是我近20年
13:47
in my nearly几乎 two decades几十年
as a heart specialist专家:

作为心脏专家了解到的:
13:51
the emotional情绪化 heart intersects相交
with its biological生物 counterpart副本
223
819033
4408
情感之心与它的生理对应物以一种
13:55
in surprising奇怪 and mysterious神秘 ways方法.
224
823465
2556
惊奇和神秘的方式相交叉。
13:58
And yet然而, medicine医学 today今天 continues继续
to conceptualize概念化 the heart as a machine.
225
826045
4778
然而,今天的医学继续将
心脏概念化为一台机器。
14:03
This conceptualization概念化
has had great benefits好处.
226
831312

这种概念化有很大的好处。
14:07

14:28
However然而, it's possible可能

然而,我们可能
14:30
that we are approaching接近 the limits范围
of what scientific科学 medicine医学 can do
234

已经接近了科学药物在对抗

to combat战斗 heart disease疾病.

心脏疾病上的极限。
14:37
Indeed确实, the rate of decline下降
of cardiovascular心血管 mortality死亡
236

事实上,在过去的十年中,
心血管疾病死亡率
14:40
has slowed放缓 significantly显著
in the past过去 decade.
237
868615
3689
的下降速度已经明显放缓。
14:45
We will need to shift转移 to a new paradigm范例
238
873312
2980
我们需要转向新的模式
14:48
to continue继续 to make the kind of progress进展
to which哪一个 we have become成为 accustomed惯常的.
239
876316

去继续取得我们已经习惯的进步。
14:52
In this paradigm范例, psychosocial心理 factors因素
will need to be front面前 and center中央
240
880335
5425
在这种模式下,心理社会因素
将需要成为我们思考
心脏问题的前提和中心。
14:57
in how we think about heart problems问题.
241
885784
2124
15:00
This is going to be an uphill上坡 battle战斗,
242
888685
2138
这将是一场艰苦的战斗,
15:02
and it remains遗迹 a domain
that is largely大部分 unexplored未开发.
243
890847
3943
在很大程度上它仍然
是一个尚未被探索的领域。
15:07
The American美国 Heart Association协会
still does not list名单 emotional情绪化 stress强调
244
895956
5165
美国心脏学会仍然没有把情感压力
15:13
as a key modifiable修改 risk风险 factor因子
for heart disease疾病,
245
901145
3791
作为心理疾病的一个可改变危险因素,
15:16
perhaps也许 in part部分 because blood血液 cholesterol胆固醇
is so much easier更轻松 to lower降低
246
904960
4803
部分原因可能是因为血压中的
胆固醇相比情感和社会混乱
15:21
than emotional情绪化 and social社会 disruption瓦解.
247
909787
2675
更容易降低。
15:25
There is a better way, perhaps也许,
248
913582
2392
也许,有更好的方式。
15:27
if we recognize认识 that when
we say "a broken破碎 heart,"
249
915998
4877
如果我们知道当人们说
“破碎的心”时,
15:32
we are indeed确实 sometimes有时 talking
about a real真实 broken破碎 heart.
250
920899
4614
他们说的确实是一颗
真的破碎的心脏。
15:37
We must必须, must必须 pay工资 more attention注意 to
the power功率 and importance重要性 of the emotions情绪
251
925537
6442
在照看我们的心脏时,
我们就必须更加关注
情感的力量和重要性。
15:44
in taking服用 care关心 of our hearts心中.

15:46
Emotional情绪化 stress强调, I have learned学到了,
253
934442

我认识到,情感压力
15:48
is often经常 a matter of life and death死亡.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Sandeep Jauhar - Physician, writer
Sandeep Jauhar is a practicing cardiologist passionate about communicating medicine in all its glorious, quirky, inescapable humanity.

Why you should listen

In addition to his medical practice, Dr. Sandeep Jauhar writes about medicine and its impacts on culture for a wide-ranging audience. He is a contributing opinion writer for the New York Times and has written three best-selling books.

His most recent book, Heart: A History (a finalist for the 2019 Wellcome Book prize), tells the little-known story of the doctors who risked their careers -- and the patients who risked their lives -- to understand our most vital organ. Weaving his own experiences with the defining discoveries of the past, Jauhar braids tales of breakthrough, hubris and sorrow to create a lucid chronicle of our life's most intimate chamber. The book also confronts the limits of medical technology, arguing that future progress will be determined more by how we choose to live rather than by any device we invent. Indeed, as the book explains, our emotional lives are absolutely key to our heart health. Jauhar is the Director of the Heart Failure Program at Northwell Health's Long Island Jewish Medical Center.
