We reported an increased occurrence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) after the Great East Japan Earthquake by examining ambulance records, but it had to be confirmed by cardiologists.
We enrolled patients admitted to the cardiology department of the 10 hospitals in the disaster area from 4 weeks prior to 15 weeks after March 11 in the years 2008-2011 (n=14,078). The weekly occurrence of several CVDs, including heart failure (HF), pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) and infectious endocarditis (IE), was sharply and significantly increased after the Earthquake.
The Disaster caused significantly increases in the occurrence of HF, PTE and IE.
我们通过检查救护车记录报告了东日本大地震后心血管疾病（CVDs）的发生率增加，但这必须得到心脏病专家的证实。
我们招募了 2008 年至 2011 年 3 月 11 日前后的 10 家受灾医院心内科病房入院的患者，纳入时间为地震前 4 周到后 15 周（n=14078）。地震后，包括心力衰竭（HF）、肺血栓栓塞症（PTE）和感染性心内膜炎（IE）在内的几种 CVD 的每周发生率急剧且显著增加。
灾难导致 HF、PTE 和 IE 的发生率显著增加。
