Journal ArticleDOI
Improvement of left ventricular ejection fraction, heart failure symptoms and prognosis after revascularization in patients with chronic coronary artery disease and viable myocardium detected by dobutamine stress echocardiography.
Jeroen J. Bax,Don Poldermans,Abdou Elhendy,Jan H. Cornel,Eric Boersma,Riccardo Rambaldi,Jos R.T.C. Roelandt,Paolo M. Fioretti +7 more
TL;DR: Patients with substantial viability on DSE demonstrated improvement in LVEF and NYHA functional class after revascularization; viability was also associated with a favorable prognosis afterRevascularization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perioperative cardiovascular mortality in noncardiac surgery: validation of the Lee cardiac risk index.
Eric Boersma,Miklos D. Kertai,Olaf Schouten,Jeroen J. Bax,Peter G. Noordzij,Ewout W. Steyerberg,Arend F.L. Schinkel,Marian van Santen,Maarten L. Simoons,Ian R. Thomson,Jan Klein,Hero van Urk,Don Poldermans +12 more
TL;DR: The adapted Lee index was predictive of cardiovascular mortality in the administrative database of the Erasmus MC, Rotterdam, The Netherlands, but its simple classification of surgical procedures as high-risk versus not high- risk seems suboptimal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hibernating Myocardium: Diagnosis and Patient Outcomes
Arend F.L. Schinkel,Jeroen J. Bax,Don Poldermans,Abdou Elhendy,Roberto Ferrari,Shahbudin H. Rahimtoola +5 more
TL;DR: This pooled analysis describes the relative merits of dobutamine echocardiography, thallium-201 and technetium-99m scintigraphy, positron emission tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging for the diagnosis of hibernating myocardium and prediction of patient outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fluvastatin and perioperative events in patients undergoing vascular surgery.
Olaf Schouten,Eric Boersma,Sanne E. Hoeks,Robbert Benner,Hero van Urk,Marc R.H.M. van Sambeek,Hence J.M. Verhagen,Nisar Ahmed Khan,Martin Dunkelgrun,Jeroen J. Bax,Don Poldermans +10 more
TL;DR: In patients undergoing vascular surgery, perioperative fluvastatin therapy was associated with an improvement in postoperative cardiac outcome and Fluvastatin Therapy was not associated with a significant increase in the rate of adverse events.
Journal Article
Perioperative β blockers in patients having non-cardiac surgery : a meta-analysis. Commentary
Eric Boersma,Don Poldermans,Sripal Bangalore,Jørn Wetterslev,Shruthi Pranesh,Sabrina Sawhney,Christian Gluud,Franz H. Messerli +7 more
TL;DR: Evidence does not support the use of beta-blocker therapy for the prevention of perioperative clinical outcomes in patients having non-cardiac surgery, and the ACC/AHA guidelines committee should soften their advocacy for this intervention until conclusive evidence is available.
