TL;DR
In two comparable series of medicolegal necropsies, on people who had died suddenly from an accident or ischaemic heart-disease, the lead content of ribs was found to be considerably higher in a soft than in a hard water area.

In the United States variations from state to state in death rates from cardiovascular diseases have been unexplained on dietary, racial, or social bases, but one variable environmental influence to which all persons are exposed is potable water.

The harder the local drinking-water and the more calcium it contained the lower was the death-rate in middle and early old age; this was particularly so for cardiovascular and bronchitis mortality, confirming findings relating to the period around 1951.

Chemical analysis of the coronary arteries in the accident series indicated that, at ages under 40 years, there were more men in the soft-water area with very low values for calcium and magnesium suggesting that the mineral content of the arteries is related to the mineralcontent of the drinking-water.

The association of the degree of softness of municipal water and death rates from hypertensive and arteriosclerotic heart diseases, demonstrated for 1949 to 1951 rates, persisted in 1960 and negative correlations for 12 major and 4 trace constituents were found.
