Background and Purpose—Remote ischemic conditioning is cardioprotective in myocardial
infarction and neuroprotective in mechanical occlusion models of stroke. However, there is …

Background Intravenous administration of alteplase is the only approved treatment for acute
ischemic stroke. Despite the effectiveness of this treatment, 50% of patients suffer chronic …

Background and Purpose—Remote ischemic preconditioning is a phenomenon by which a
short period of sublethal ischemia to an organ protects against subsequent ischemia in …

Background and Purpose—Remote ischemic preconditioning is neuroprotective in models
of acute cerebral ischemia. We tested the effect of prehospital rPerC as an adjunct to …

Rationale Remote ischemic per-conditioning—causing transient limb ischemia to induce
ischemic tolerance in other organs—reduces final infarct size in animal stroke models. Aim …

Stroke is a leading cause of disability with high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Of all
strokes, 87% are ischemic. The only approved treatments for acute ischemic stroke are …

Objective To investigate the feasibility and safety of remote ischemic postconditioning
(RIPC) in acute ischemic stroke patients after intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen …

Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is a promising therapeutic approach for ischemic stroke
patients. It has been proven that RIC reduces infarct size and improves functional outcomes …

Acute myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke are leading causes of morbidity and
mortality worldwide. Although reperfusion therapies have greatly improved the outcomes of …

Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is the application of brief periods of ischemia to an
organ or tissue with the aim of inducing protection from ischemia in a distant organ. It was …
