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 …

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 …

The coronary circulation is both culprit and victim of acute myocardial infarction. The rupture
of an epicardial atherosclerotic plaque with superimposed thrombosis causes coronary …

Diets rich in fruits and vegetables reduce blood pressure (BP) and the risk of adverse
cardiovascular events. However, the mechanisms of this effect have not been elucidated …

Remote ischaemic conditioning (RIC) triggers endogenous protective pathways in distant
organs such as the kidney, heart and brain, and represents an exciting new paradigm in …

Therapeutic strategies to protect the ischemic myocardium have been studied extensively.
Reperfusion is the definitive treatment for acute coronary syndromes, especially acute …

Background Whether remote ischaemic preconditioning, an intervention in which brief
ischaemia of one tissue or organ protects remote organs from a sustained episode of …

Remote ischaemic preconditioning (RIPC) represents a strategy for harnessing the body's
endogenous protective capabilities against the injury incurred by ischaemia and …

Cardioprotective strategies aim to salvage myocardium from ischemia/reperfusion injury and
to reduce infarct size and its consequences. Different stimuli, acting at sites remote from the …
