Exposure of the heart to one or more short episodes of ischaemia/reperfusion protects the
heart against a subsequent prolonged period of ischaemia, as evidenced by a reduction in …

Objectives: The present study addresses whether the mechanism of anti-arrhythmic
protection by ischaemic preconditioning involves depletion of myocardial catecholamines …

he description of ischaemic preconditioning by Muny et dl in 1986 has substantially altered
the way in T which we think about the pathophysiological processes involved in acute …

The increase in the incidence of ischaemic heart disease and acute myocardial infarction
(AMI) in both high-and low-income countries necessitates the development of myocardial …

Introduction: Our aim was to develop a robust protocol for inducing ischaemia–reperfusion
injury and preconditioning in the in vivo mouse heart. Methods: Animals were prepared by …

Abstract Objective: The aim was (1) to clarify whether α adrenoceptor and adenosine
receptor stimulation is involved in the anti-infarct effect of ischaemic preconditioning in the …

Although pharmacological preconditioning (PPC) has emerged as an alternative to
ischaemic preconditioning (IPC) in cardioprotection, the efficacy of PPC compared with IPC …

Ischaemic preconditioning is defined as an increased tolerance to ischaemia and
reperfusion induced by a previous sublethal period of ischaemia. Since this is the most …

Anaesthetised Dogs: Is Adenosine Involved? Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology …

Preconditioning of the heart with brief periods of ischaemia protects the myocardium for up
to 90 min against a more sustained ischaemic injury. A “second window of protection” occurs …
