X represents a rational choice in several subgroups of hypertensive patient in whom excessive sympathetic activity is likely. This especially includes those with features of the insu¬lin resistance syndrome and the young 'borderline' hypertensive patient (Schachter 1997).
Subgroup analyses of various clinical trials have shown that X is both effective and well tolerated across a wide spectrum of patients, as described below. This favourable profile should simplify prescribing of antihypertensive therapy in routine clinical practice.
| Translation - Czech
X je vhodnou volbou hned u několika skupin hypertenzních pacientů, u nich se dá předpokládat vysoká sympatická aktivita. To platí zvlátě pro osoby s příznaky syndromu inzulínové rezistence a mladé hraniční" hypertoniky (Schachter 1997).
Analýzy specifických podskupin v rámci různých klinických studií prokázaly, e X účinkuje u irokého spektra pacientů a takovým spektrem je i dobře snáen (viz níe). Takto příznivé parametry by měly zjednoduit zavádění léku jako antihypertenziva v rutinní klinické praxi.

Translation as Adventure
My career started by graduating from the Czech School of Agriculture, Prague. Then I was a research biochemist, I sold timeshare contracts, worked in the Czech TV - to end up as a translator. From that time, I believe your nature will get you - sooner or later - to do the profession you have been designed for. It definitely did me. I enjoy *creating* translations, not just replacing one word by another. And when I finally, after a 10min combing of the Web, find the right Czech term for a peculiar English word used by farmers at Orkney Islands or surgeons at Mayo Clinic, I feel like a gold digger who has just found a golden nugget.
