There is compelling evidence that preconditioning occurs in humans. Experimental studies
with potential clinical implications as well as clinical studies evaluating ischaemic …

Objective: To delineate predictors of hospital survival in a large series of children with
biventricular physiology supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) after …

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine whether administration of
bradykinin reproduces the cardioprotective effects of ischemic preconditioning (PC) in …

Adenosine, a catabolite of ATP, exerts numerous effects in the heart, including modulation of
the cardiac response to stress, such as that which occurs during myocardial ischemia and …

The phenomenon of ischemic preconditioning has been recognized as one of the most
potent mechanisms to protect against myocardial ischemic injury. In experimental animals …

OBJECTIVES We attempted to establish whether naloxone, an opioid receptor antagonist,
abolishes the adaptation to ischemia observed in humans during coronary angioplasty after …

Purpose Brief ischaemic episodes, followed by periods of reperfusion, increase the
resistance to further ischaemic damage. This response is called “ischaemic …

Objective: Adenosine receptor activation has been implicated in the mechanism of
ischaemic preconditioning protection. Evidence suggests adenosine A1 receptor …

Background Ticagrelor improves clinical outcomes in patients with acute coronary
syndromes compared with clopidogrel. Ticagrelor also inhibits cell uptake of adenosine and …

The term 'preconditioning'refers to the paradoxical phenomenon that pretreatment with a
potential noxious stress‐stimulus can increase cellular tolerance to subsequent noxious …
