Intra-cardiac remote ischemic post-conditioning attenuates ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats

Objectives. It remains unknown whether brief occlusion and relaxation of remote non-infarct-related coronary arteries limits infarct size. We tested the hypothesis that repetitive, brief, non-infarcting ischemia in one remote myocardial region, applied before sustained reperfusion to another intra-c...
