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 …

Background Whether remote ischemic preconditioning (transient ischemia and reperfusion
of the arm) can improve clinical outcomes in patients undergoing coronary-artery bypass …

Background Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) is reported to reduce biomarkers of
ischemic and reperfusion injury in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, but uncertainty …

Pre-, post-, and remote conditioning of the myocardium are well described adaptive
responses that markedly enhance the ability of the heart to withstand a prolonged …

Ischaemic heart disease and the heart failure that often results, remain the leading causes of
death and disability in Europe and worldwide. As such, in order to prevent heart failure and …

To commemorate the auspicious occasion of the 30th anniversary of IPC, leading pioneers
in the field of cardioprotection gathered in Barcelona in May 2016 to review and discuss the …

Background Remote ischaemic preconditioning has been associated with reduced risk of
