Dr. Tobian has been involved in hypertension research and treatment for more than 50 years. His work on the sodium and water content in blood vessel walls and the protective effects of potassium has been widely accepted and incorporated into everyday practice decisions. Those of us who have interacted with this researcher and clinician marvel at his ability to translate basic science findings into practice. He has enlivened dozens of meetings with his to‐the‐point questions and cogent arguments. Dr. Tobian is one of the few investigators and clinicians who have been there, done that, and participated in the exciting ongoing saga of hypertension from the time when physicians believed a little high blood pressure was a good thing and couldn't be treated, to the present when we recognize risks of hypertension and reduce it with effective treatment. We asked Dr. Tobian to give us his thoughts about his research and where he believes hypertension treatment may be headed.
托比安博士从事高血压研究与治疗工作已逾50年。他在血管壁钠和水含量以及钾的保护作用方面的研究成果已被广泛认可，并融入日常临床决策之中。我们这些与这位研究者兼临床医生打过交道的人，都惊叹于他将基础科学研究成果转化为实际应用的能力。他那些一针见血的问题和有说服力的论点，让几十场会议都充满活力。托比安博士是为数不多的既参与过早期研究又参与过临床实践的研究者和临床医生之一，他见证了高血压研究令人兴奋的发展历程，从医生们认为轻度高血压有益且无法治疗的时代，到如今我们认识到高血压的风险并通过有效治疗加以控制的时代。我们请托比安博士谈谈他对自己研究的看法，以及他认为高血压治疗的未来走向。
