Abstract

Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) is known to protect tissue from ischemia and has effect both locally[] and systemically[]. Remote IPC (RIPC) induced by limb ischemia provides systemic protection against prolonged ischemia in the target organ. RIPC has been reported to reduce infarct size in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary angioplasty[] and is currently evaluated in patients with ischemic stroke undergoing thrombolysis (NCT00975962). © 2012 International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis.
