Background: Remote ischemic preconditioning is a simple therapy that may reduce cardiac
and kidney injury. We undertook a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effect of this …

Background Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) is reported to reduce biomarkers of
ischemic and reperfusion injury in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, but uncertainty …

Background Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) has two time windows for organ
protection: acute and delayed. Previous studies have mainly focused on the acute time …

Background Remote ischemic conditioning has been shown to confer myocardial protection.
However, there is still no sufficient data on its long-term clinical outcomes. We analyzed the …

Importance No interventions have yet been identified to reduce the risk of acute kidney injury
in the setting of cardiac surgery. Objective To determine whether remote ischemic …

Background Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) has been associated with reduced
risk of myocardial injury in patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery, but uncertainty about …

Background Multiple randomized controlled trials of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC)
prior to cardiac surgery have failed to demonstrate clinical benefit. The aim of this updated …

The efficacy of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) in high-risk cardiac surgery is
uncertain. In this study, 96 adults undergoing high-risk cardiac surgery were randomised to …

BACKGROUND: Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) has been demonstrated to
prevent organ dysfunction in cardiac surgery patients. However, recent large, prospective …

Every year millions of patients undergo cardiac surgery, which may be associated with short-
and long-term cardiovascular complications in as many as 20% of patients. Although the …
