Hurricane Katrina's aftermath included spike in heart disease hospitalizations

(Tufts University, Health Sciences Campus) Hospitalizations for cardiovascular disease rose precipitously in Orleans and Jefferson parishes after Hurricane Katrina. The increase in rates lasted for more than one month after landfall and rates were higher among the older black population, compared to the older white population.
