Major catastrophes, such as earthquakes and wars, have been associated with short-term increases in cardiac mortality. We investigated whether the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, were associated with increased cardiac mortality in New York City. We analyzed death certificate data in New York City for the time period around September 11, 2001. Compared with control years, there was no excess mortality from cardiac causes in the month after September 11, 2001. Also, there was no increase in death from cerebrovascular disease. In conclusion, there was no disproportionate increase in cardiovascular mortality after the terrorist attacks.
重大灾难,如地震和战争,与心脏死亡率的短期上升有关。我们调查了2001年9月11日的恐怖袭击是否与纽约市心脏死亡率的上升有关。我们分析了纽约市2001年9月11日前后时间段的死亡证明数据。与对照年份相比,2001年9月11日之后的那个月心脏病因导致的死亡率并无过高情况。此外,脑血管疾病导致的死亡人数也没有增加。总之,恐怖袭击后心血管死亡率没有出现不成比例的上升。
