Since 2005, ARREST studies out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in the province of North-Holland in the Netherlands. ARREST stands for AmsteRdam REsuscitation STudies and is an ongoing prospective registry of all resuscitation attempts in the study region. A primary goal of data collection is to determine which factors are most important for patient survival, and to see where there are possibilities for improvement in the chain of survival. To this end ARREST cooperates with ambulance services, dispatch centres and hospitals, and collects data from police, fire fighters and lay persons to analyse the first response to a sudden cardiac arrest.
Another important goal of the ARREST study is to determine which risk factors can lead to the occurrence of a sudden cardiac arrest. Why does one person have a cardiac arrest whereas another person does not? We study the role of diseases and hereditary factors, but also the use of medication and environmental factors. In order to collect data on this, we also collaborate with general practitioners and pharmacists.
One of our current projects that focusses on risk factors is RESCUED (Recognizing Sudden Cardiac Arrest Vulnerability in Diabetes). This project aims to identify individuals at high risk for Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) in people with type 2 diabetes focusing on general practitioner (GP) files and molecular markers (DNA, metabolomics).
Since January 2017 we officially work together with other sudden cardiac arrest research groups in Europe, in the ESCAPE-NET project: European Sudden Cardiac Arrest Network - Towards Prevention, Education and New Effective Treatment, supported by the EU. In this project, international experts with different backgrounds work together share their data, knowledge and expertise.
