Reperfusion is mandatory to salvage ischemic myocardium from infarction, but reperfusion
per se contributes to injury and ultimate infarct size. Therefore, cardioprotection beyond that …

In remote ischemic conditioning (RIC), brief, reversible episodes of ischemia with
reperfusion in one vascular bed, tissue, or organ confer a global protective phenotype and …

Heart diseases due to myocardial ischemia, such as myocardial infarction or ischemic heart
failure, are major causes of death in developed countries, and their number is unfortunately …

Physiology to Clinical Cardiology. Physiol Rev 83: 1113-1151, 2003; 10.1152/physrev …

Background Whether remote ischaemic preconditioning, an intervention in which brief
ischaemia of one tissue or organ protects remote organs from a sustained episode of …

Remote ischaemic preconditioning (RIPC) represents a strategy for harnessing the body's
endogenous protective capabilities against the injury incurred by ischaemia and …

Background and aims Observational studies have yielded conflicting results on the
association of prescription opioid use (POU) with the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) …

BACKGROUND: Restoration of blood supply to an organ after a critical period of ischemia
results in parenchymal injury and dysfunction of the organ referred to as reperfusion injury …

Background—Transient limb ischemia administered before a prolonged ischemic insult has
systemic protective effects against ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury (remote ischemic …
