Journal ArticleDOI
Sudden Cardiac Death
TL;DR: Total mortality, rather than classifications of cardiac and arrhythmic mortality, should be used as primary objectives for many outcome studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-density mapping of electrically induced atrial fibrillation in humans.
Karen T. S. Konings,Charles J. H. J. Kirchhof,Joep R. L. M. Smeets,Hein J.J. Wellens,Olaf C. Penn,Maurits A. Allessie +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reconstruct and classify the patterns of human right atrial (RA) activation during electrically induced atrial fibrillation (AF) in humans, based on multiple reentering wavelets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in the 1990s: A population-based study in the Maastricht area on incidence, characteristics and survival
Jacqueline J.M de Vreede-Swagemakers,Anton P.M. Gorgels,Willy I Dubois-Arbouw,Jan W van Ree,Mat J.A.P. Daemen,Leon G.E Houben,Hein J.J. Wellens +6 more
TL;DR: Sudden cardiac arrest usually occurs at home, and the survival of those with a witnessed SCA at home was low compared with that outside the home, indicating the necessity of optimizing out-of-hospital resuscitation, especially in the at-home situation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Configuration of Unipolar Atrial Electrograms During Electrically Induced Atrial Fibrillation in Humans
TL;DR: The morphology of single unipolar electrograms during AF reflects the occurrence of various specific patterns of conduction and might be used to differentiate between different types of AF and to identify regions with structural conduction disturbances involved in perpetuation of chronic AF.
Journal ArticleDOI
Visualisation of cell death in vivo in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
Leonard Hofstra,Ing Han Liem,Ewald A. W. J. Dumont,Hendrikus H. Boersma,W.L. van Heerde,Pieter A. Doevendans,E De Muinck,Hein J.J. Wellens,Gerrit J. Kemerink,Chris P. M. Reutelingsperger,Guido A. K. Heidendal +10 more
TL;DR: Increased uptake of Tc-99m-labelled annexin-V is present in the infarct area of patients with an acute myocardial infarction, suggesting that programmed cell death occurs in that area.
