Incidence and correlates of near-death experiences in a cardiac care unit
Bruce Greyson · 2003 · General Hospital Psychiatry, 25(4), 269-276
Summary
Study of NDE incidence and correlates among cardiac-care patients, using standardized NDE measurement to examine who reports NDEs after close brushes with death.
Why it matters here
Adds a second medical-cohort anchor beside van Lommel and AWARE, useful for showing that NDE research is not based only on retrospective anecdote.
Linked claims
A panoramic, often empathic re-experiencing of one's life — common in NDE samples, with strong moral aftereffects.
A consistent core experience — peace, light, life review, OBE — reported across cultures and prospective hospital studies.
