“…Recently, Aoki, et al reported the occurrence of CHF was significantly increased after the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake compared with the previous 3 years and then it decreased rapidly. 27) Our observation is compatible with their results for the Great East Japan Earthquake, and might support the concept that emotional or physical stress might be a trigger of CHF.…”

SummaryThere are conflicting reports regarding the occurrence of cardiovascular events after a major earthquake. To understand the impact of the Great East Japan Earthquake on cardiovascular events, we retrospectively examined the clinical records prepared by emergency room physicians between 2009 and 2011 (n = 66,244), and compared the occurrence of these events between 2011 and 2009, and 2011 and 2010. There was a significant increase in the number of patients with cardiovascular events during the 3 week period after the earthquake in 2011 (n = 106) compared with that during the same period in 2009 (n = 72) or 2010 (n = 65) (P = 0.002). The number of patients with acute coronary syndrome or congestive heart failure in March 2011 was significantly increased compared with 2009 or 2010, however, there were no significant increases in 2011 in other cardiovascular events including stroke, aortic dissection, pulmonary thromboembolism, or out-of-hospital cardiac arrest compared with 2009 or 2010. These findings suggest that the incidence of cardiovascular events may have been heterogeneous after the disaster. (Int Heart J 2013; 54: 247-253)

“…Mimura (2011) and Higuchi et al (2012) showed that the physical losses from the disaster are estimated to be around 17 trillion yen in total. Obviously, the losses from the disaster do not just include the economic costs of physical capital and the market structures which were analyzed by Ando and Kimura (2012), but also about the impacts on human beings including disease (Aoki 2012), mental trauma (Takeda 2011) and changes in risk perception (Goodwin et al 2012). For the differential aspects of human loss, there is a widely acknowledged demand among various fields of scientists for a single index that provides a comprehensive picture of the human impact of disasters.…”

Terms of use: Documents in AbstractAfter severe disasters, persons living not only in the directly affected areas, but also in distant areas could be seriously affected thorough images of the disaster on television and in newspapers. Hence, it can be difficult to define qualified beneficiaries for policy compensation in terms of psychological suffering. Building on the case of Great East Japan Earthquake, we appraise psychological suffering from disaster-related news through the experienced utility approach. We take advantage of the serendipitous timing of our original nationwide weekly panel survey that became a timely investigation of subjective well-being in the immediate aftermath of the earthquake. Although a pale was cast over the whole society, we found that there was a robust and large geographical heterogeneity between the disaster area and non-disaster areas in mental costs. This finding may capture the focusing effect, suggesting that resources for compensating mental suffering should be concentrated on persons living in the disaster area.Keywords: Great East Japan Earthquake, subjective well-being, experienced utility approach, focusing effect, high frequency panel data JEL classifications: I31 H56 D61

“…Abrupt stress, as in the acute and subacute phases of a great earthquake, has been reported to precipitate major CVE such as cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA), acute coronary syndrome (ACS), heart failure (HF), and stroke. 1 The present patient had VF in the first to second minute after the first earthquake shake, possibly mediated by huge adrenergic arousal, as reflected by the rate increase up to 120-130 beats/min preceding VF onset (Figure), despite bisoprolol treatment. This has been observed during the Great East Japan Earthquake that hit the Miyagi prefecture in March 2011: the time course of CVE shows that CPA increased immediately compared with the period preceding the earthquake, then rapidly decreased in the following days, to recur only in the event of further earthquake shakes, 1,2 either in the general population 2 or in ICD recipients.…”
