OBJECTIVES Remote ischaemic preconditioning (RIPC) is a non-invasive and virtually cost-
free strategy for protecting the heart against acute ischaemia–reperfusion injury (IRI). We …

Multiple initiatives are underway to harness the clinical benefits of remote ischemic
preconditioning (rIPC) based on applying non-invasive, brief, intermittent limb …

Background Currently viewed as a complementary non-pharmacological intervention for
preventing cardiac disorders, long-term aerobic training produces cardioprotection through …

Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) and local ischemic preconditioning (IPC) protect
the myocardium from subsequent ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. In this study, the …

One of the major therapeutic challenges in the arena of interventional cardiology is to design
strategies aimed at reducing myocardial tissue damage after myocardial infarction. In …

Background Recent clinical and animal studies suggested that remote limb ischemic
postconditioning (RIPostC) can invoke potent cardioprotection or neuroprotection. However …

rIPC [remote IPC (ischaemic preconditioning)] has been shown to invoke potent myocardial
protection in animal studies and recent clinical trials. Although the important role of PI3K …

For patients with ischaemic heart disease, remote ischaemic conditioning may offer an
innovative, non‐invasive and virtually cost‐free therapy for protecting the myocardium …

Reperfusion of patients after myocardial infarction (heart attack) triggers cardiac
inflammation that leads to infarct expansion and heart failure (HF). We previously showed …

Aims Remote ischaemic preconditioning (RIPC) is a robust cardioprotective intervention in
preclinical studies. To establish a working and efficacious RIPC protocol in our laboratories …
