Yellon, Derek M., and James M. Downey. Preconditioning the Myocardium: From Cellular
Physiology to Clinical Cardiology. Physiol Rev 83: 1113-1151, 2003; 10.1152/physrev …

Cardiac preconditioning represents the most potent and consistently reproducible method of
rescuing heart tissue from undergoing irreversible ischaemic damage. Major milestones …

Background Brief coronary artery occlusions (CAOs) protect both the artery's own perfusion
territory (“myocardial preconditioning”) and adjacent “virgin” myocardium. Whether ischemia …

The aim of the present study was to determine whether specific inhibition of mitochondrial
permeability transition (MPT) by NIM811 at the time of reperfusion following acute …

Background Experimental evidence suggests that ATP-sensitive potassium channels are
involved in myocardial ischemic preconditioning. Because some pharmacologic effects of …

1. Ischemic preconditioning and its endpoints morphological protection, while on the other
hand caution should be used when extrapolating findings from short-Brief episodes of …

Background and Purpose Recent evidence indicates that GPER (G protein‐coupled
oestrogen receptor 1) mediates acute pre‐ischaemic oestrogen‐induced protection of the …

Preconditioning the myocardium using short episodes of sublethal ischaemia will delay the
onset of necrosis during a subsequent lethal ischaemic insult. This powerful protective …

Background: Ischemic preconditioning is a powerful mechanism in reducing infarct size of
the heart. Protection can be performed either by an ischemic stimulus of the heart itself or by …

Conscious pigs underwent a sequence of 10 2-min coronary occlusions, each separated by
2 min of reperfusion, for three consecutive days (days 1, 2, and 3). On day 1, pigs received …
