BACKGROUND
After the East Japan Earthquake disaster there may have been a deterioration of patients with cardiovascular diseases.
METHODS AND RESULTS
We examined the data from 189 consecutive patients implanted with cardiovascular devices for the 6-month period before and after the Earthquake. In 170 patients with defibrillators, the number who experienced tachyarrhythmias increased significantly after the Earthquake (28 ± 5 vs. 34 ± 3 patients/month, P<0.05). In 74 patients with biventricular pacemakers, the number of heart failure hospitalizations significantly increased after the Earthquake (1.2 ± 1.0 vs. 2.7 ± 1.2 patients/month, P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
The East Japan Earthquake disaster unfavorably affected patients implanted with defibrillators or biventricular pacemakers.
背景
东日本大地震后，心血管疾病患者的病情可能恶化。
方法和结果
我们检查了地震前后 6 个月内植入心血管设备的 189 例连续患者的数据。在 170 例装有除颤器的患者中，地震后发生心动过速的患者数量显著增加（28 ± 5 例/月 vs. 34 ± 3 例/月，P<0.05）。在 74 例装有双心室起搏器的患者中，地震后心力衰竭住院人数显著增加（1.2 ± 1.0 例/月 vs. 2.7 ± 1.2 例/月，P<0.05）。
结论
东日本大地震对植入除颤器或双心室起搏器的患者产生了不利影响。
