The Hanshin earthquake occurred on January 17, 1995, causing considerable disruption at our hospital due to lack of water and gas supplies for about 5-6 weeks after the earthquake. We admitted 63 cardiac patients as emergencies during first 3 weeks, including 32 with congestive heart failure, 6 with unstable angina, 8 with acute myocardial infarction and 17 with other diseases. Congestive heart failure occurred mainly in aged patients who suffered from upper respiratory infection or bronchitis. We were obliged to send 20 critically ill cardiac patients to other cardiac centers by helicopter or ambulance, because no intensive care could be provided. Major and high grade hospital functions cannot be achieved in earthquake areas.
阪神地震发生于1995年1月17日，地震后约5至6周，由于水和燃气供应短缺，我院受到严重影响。在最初的3周内，我们共收治了63例心脏急症患者，其中32例为充血性心力衰竭患者，6例为不稳定型心绞痛患者，8例为急性心肌梗死患者，17例为其他疾病患者。充血性心力衰竭主要发生在患有上呼吸道感染或支气管炎的老年患者中。由于无法提供重症监护，我们不得不通过直升机或救护车将20例重症心脏患者转送至其他心脏中心。在地震区域无法实现主要和高级别的医院功能。
