<International Circulation>: How often would a patient actually follow through on this from the programs that have been implemented to-date?
 

　　《国际循环》：您的专业研究领域是房颤。如果您有一个患者要在消融和药物治疗之间进行选择，您将为其提供能进一步了解他们情况的资源清单。该项目实施至今，患者一般多长时间回访一次？
　　Dr Lewis: They do it a lot. Patients in the United States are coming in with lots of information when they walk through the door. They typically call me within one week of a consultation having gone to other resources in search of information. Having me direct them to a site where I know the information is trusted and accurate is very helpful. They go there a lot when I send them there. Then， when they come back， I don’t have to sift through multiple websites that have told them one thing or another. I know they have been to a trusted site and then the information exchanged in a follow-up visit is a much clearer exchange of information.

　　Dr. Lewis：他们做了很多。美国的患者在门前走过即能获得大量的信息。他们通常每周电话咨询一次，让我告知他们一个我认为值得信赖、且有用的网站。我将网址发给他们之后，他们会多次访问。这是非常频繁的。当他们回来的时候，我无需对已经告诉他们的网址进行筛选，因为我知道那些是值得信赖的网站，在后续的随访中所交换的信息会更清晰。
