Early onset of coronary artery disease after prenatal exposure to the Dutch famine (2006)
Painter, R.C., Rooij, S.R. De, Bossuyt, P.M., Simmers, T.A., Osmond, C., Barker, D.J., ...
Background: Limited evidence suggests that maternal undernutrition at the time of conception is associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk in adult offspring. Objective: We investigated...

Simmers, T. A., Wever, E. F., Wittkampf, F. H., Hauer, R. N.
OBJECTIVE--To monitor atrioventricular conduction after radiofrequency ablation for atrioventricular nodal re-entry tachycardia. DESIGN--Measurement of PR interval from 12 lead surface...
Technique of pulmonary vein isolation by catheter ablation
Wittkampf, F.H.M., Derksen, R., Wever, E.F.D., Simmers, T.A., Boersma, L.V.A., Vonken, E.P.A., ...
In selected patients with atrial fibrillation, the fibrillation episodes may be initiated by single or short bursts of ectopy often originating from one or more pulmonary veins (PVs). Therefore,...
Simmers, T.A., Wittkampf, F.H.M., Derksen, R.
Inappropriate sinus tachycardia is an unusual arrhythmia that is difficult to treat. To date, catheter ablation has concentrated on modifying the sinus node to attain rate control. We describe a...
Aborted sudden cardiac death in a 52-yearold man without structural heart disease
Walhout, R.J., De Winter, R.J., Simmers, T.A., Buijs, E.M.
Sudden cardiac death in the absence of apparent structural heart disease is an uncommon phenomenon. The majority of these patients do not have ‘normal’ hearts and specific diagnostic tools are...
Unmasking accessory pathway conduction due to AV block following tricuspid valve replacement
Simmers, T.A., Otterspoor, L.C., Winter, J.B.
Atrioventricular block during radiofrequency (RF) ablation of an accessory pathway may be due to inadvertent RF damage or catheter pressure to the conduction system, or a pre-existent conduction...
Implantable device recalls: are we throwing away the baby with the bath water?
Simmers, T.A., Boersma, L.V.A.
Over the past year, there has been a sharp increase in the number of recalls, or `field safety corrective actions' concerning implantable defibrillators. This may be due to an actual rise in device...
