Figure 3 Daily Cardiac Deaths in Los Angeles Associated With Earthquake

On the day of the earthquake (January 17, 1994), there was a sharp rise in the number of deaths related to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (n = 51, relative risk 2.6, 95% confidence interval 1.8 to 3.7). The daily number of deaths related to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease declined in the 6 days after the earthquake (z = 3.15, p = 0.002). Reprinted, with permission, from Leor et al. (5).
