Acknowledgements
We would like to thank the general practitioners, ambulance personnel, and cardiologists of both hospitals in Nijmegen for their help in making this study possible. Furthermore, they are very grateful to both the cardiologists and Astrid Dekker of the Hospital Rijnstate in Arnhem, for their generous help with examining the data of the in-hospital-treated patients.
