The potential for ischemic preconditioning to reduce infarct size was first recognized more
than 30 years ago [180]. Despite extension of the concept to ischemic postcondition‑ing …

Ischemic disorders, such as myocardial infarction, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease,
are the most common causes of debilitating disease and death in westernized cultures. The …

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 …

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infects host cells following
binding with the cell surface ACE2 receptors, thereby leading to coronavirus disease 2019 …

Disorders characterized by ischemia/reperfusion (I/R), such as myocardial infarction, stroke,
and peripheral vascular disease, continue to be among the most frequent causes of …

Abstract 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 …

Although primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is fairly common early after cardiac transplant,
standardized schemes for diagnosis and treatment remain contentious. Most major cardiac …

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 …
