CLINICAL PRACTICE INTERVIEWS HOPE ‐3, BP treatment, milestones in CV prevention Salim Yusuf: We tested in this trial the role of lipid lowering with a statin and blood-pressure (BP) lowering with a low -dose combination of candesartan and thiazide. The concept behind it is that the association between lipids and cardiovascular disease, or BP and cardiovascular disease, is graded with no threshold, yet most of the trials were done only in those with either high risk, high lipid levels, or high BP levels. There is a graded association between BP and lipids versus cardiovascular disease, but most of the trials were done in people with high risk, high BP, or high lipid levels. Part I: Heart Outcomes Prevention Evaluation (HOPE)-3 trial Akbar Panju: Professor Yusuf, you are a world -renowned researcher in cardiovascular disease. What you have taught us over the last 2 decades has changed the way we practice cardiovascular medicine, which has led to saving a lot of lives around the world. These past few days, you had 3 articles published in a leading medical journal, the New England Journal of Medicine. I am going to ask you some questions about these articles. First, Professor Yusuf, what led to doing those trials? CLINICAL PRACTICE INTERVIEWS

967 is how, in 1866, the Cracow Doctors’ Association came into existence.1,2 The assumption was that it would not compete with the Department of Natural Science and Med‐ icine of the Cracow Science Association. During the departmental meetings, subjects concerning the theory of medical science were discussed, and during the Association meetings, medical practice problems were covered. That is why, at the begin‐ ning, many physicians, including world ‐famous doctors, took part in both organizations.3 Due to the fact that it is impossible to separate the‐ ory and practice in medicine, gradually, all med‐ ical issues were transferred to the newly estab‐ lished Association. Doctor Aleksander Kremer (1813–1880) was the driving force in creating the Cracow Doctors’ Association. He saw the absolute necessity of es‐ tablishing an independent institution gathering physicians and engaged the help of several of his fellow physicians, who had been active in the De‐ partment of Natural Science and Medicine of the Cracow Science Association, in his activities. Those people decided to meet during the scien‐ tific sessions in their own, strictly medical group. The meetings took place in their private apart‐ ments. At the same time, they were working on a legal constitution for their new assembly.1,3,4 Af‐ ter a year of preparations and arrangements, on December 18, 1866, the newly created Association had its first scientific session. The list of founding members was as follows: Aleksander Kremer (a forensic doctor) Jakób Blattejs (an independent physician), Błażej Bobrzyński (a practicing phy‐ sician in St. Lazarus Hospital), Franciszek Bu‐ likowski (a practicing physician in Holy Spirit Hos‐ pital), Józef Fałęcki (a former adjunct professor in the Department of Medicine at Jagiellonian Uni‐ versity), Jan Gawlik (a former adjunct professor in the Department of Medicine at Jagiellonian Uni‐ versity), Jan Harajewicz (a former practicing pris‐ on physician and a former director of hospitals in Kraków), Józef Doskowski (a former adjunct Introduction The Cracow Doctors’ Association (in Polish: Towarzystwo Lekarskie Krakowskie) came into being in 1866, soon after the commu‐ nity of Galicia gained unexpected privileges due to the political changes in the Austro ‐Hungarian Empire. Compared to the Russian Partition, where persecution of Poles dramatically escalated after the collapse of the January Uprising, in Galicia favorable reforms were implemented. Austria, which miraculously did not come apart as a result of the war with Prussia in 1866, decided to fight for favor of the nations making up its monarchy in order to unite them with the country and the rul‐ ing dynasty.
