Role of Ischemic Preconditioning in myocardial protection during CABG

Abstract

Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) is a biologic phenomenon in which a brief ischemia followed by reperfusion of an organ makes a distant organ more resistant against sustained ischemic insult. In order to assess whether RIPC can protect myocardium in CABG patients against ischemia, we conducted this study
