Muriel Vasconcellos Sep 21, 2009:
Rita raises a point I'm guessing that your client asked you to translate the article titles. Otherwise they are not translated. WHO style (Vancouver style) puts title translations in square brackets at the end of the reference if they are required.
Rita Tepper Sep 21, 2009:
Hi Liz...! Do you need to translate the name of the article?
María Luz Iglesias Sep 21, 2009:
Liz, "major" is used as the collocation for "factor" (google "major vascular risk" and you'll find it actually refers to "major vascular risk factors"). I'm quite positive the correct term is primary (actually, "primary coronary risk" is highly frequent as a collocation), but then again, I don't specialize in medicine and maybe someone can give further details about this.
Leda Roche Sep 21, 2009:
I do not think "major" is appropriate, because the meaning here is rather "essential". I agree with primary as the medical word.

María Luz added her comment while I was typing mine... I agree with her. I know "primario" is singular, but typos are common, especially in "References" lists.
You can Google for more information.

Due to the insistence of the other answerers in the meaning of primary, I've continued searching, but really, without further context it's difficult to reach a conclusion (you'll have found that there are no hits for the article in Spanish).

However, it does seem that another possibility might be:
Primary risk factors for vascular disease (but you have to add disease/disorder/event, or something, in English).

On the other hand, I found this link with examples of "factores de riesgo vascular primarios", which are the same as ones listed in English for "major vascular risk factors" (45,100 hits for the term in quotes):

primary vascular risk

Primario aquí se usa en el sentido de "importante, principal, esencial".

Fíjate en el link. ¡Suerte!
Example sentence:

"...and aspirins for patients at high primary vascular risk".

Note from asker:
The trouble is I searched for "primary vascular risk" and found no references on UK sites. It could be "major"??
I think it = major
sorry, but I won't be using "primary" here...have not found any convincing references for it! Thank you in any case:-)

key / primary

Hello Liz.
Taking into account that:
Key
• adjective of crucial importance: a key figure.
Primary
• adjective 1 of chief importance; principal. 2 earliest in time or order. 3 relating to education for children between the ages of about five and eleven.

There are 262 hits for key vascular risk factors
and 17800 key cardiovascular risk factors
no his for primary vascular risk factors
and 35900 for primary cardiovascular risk factors

Hope its helps!

Sorry about the typos.
no hiTs... and hope IT helps...

I figured, that is why I made the distinction.
Best,
Maria
Note from asker:
Thank you! Yes, I am going to put either "main/key/major/important". This is definitely about vascular risk factors, and not cardiovascular as that comes up elsewhere:-)
