Circulating Nitrite Contributes to Cardioprotection by Remote Ischemic Preconditioning

Circulating nitrite contributes to cardioprotection by remote ischemic preconditioning.

RATIONALE Remote ischemic preconditioning (rIPC) with short episodes of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) of an organ remote from the heart is a powerful approach to protect against myocardial I/R injury. The signal transduction pathways for the cross talk between the remote site and the heart remain unclear in detail. OBJECTIVE To elucidate the role of circulating nitrite in cardioprotection by rIP...

Is nitrite the circulating endocrine effector of remote ischemic preconditioning?

Investigating the role of acute and repeated stress on remote ischemic preconditioning-induced cardioprotection

Objective(s): To study the effect of acute and repeated stress on cardioprotection-induced by remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC).Materials and Methods: RIPC was induced by giving 4 short cycles of ischemia and reperfusion, each consisting of five min. The Langendorff’s apparatus was used to perfuse the isolated rat hearts by subjecti...

Cardioprotection by remote ischaemic preconditioning.

Perioperative myocardial infarction is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality after major non-cardiac surgery. Pharmacological agents such as beta-blockers may reduce the risk but are associated with side-effects and may be contra-indicated in some patients. Basic scientific experiments and preliminary clinical trials in humans suggest that remote ischaemic preconditioning (RIPC), where bri...

Remote Ischemic Preconditioning and Diabetic Macular Edema

Objective: Remote Ischemic Preconditioning (RIPC) as the transient ischemia and reperfusion of the arm is a promising method for protecting different tissue from future ischemia. These effects might be mediated through vascular and endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway. We investigated the influence of RIPC on diabetic macular edema (DME) as a chronic ischemic condition in patients who were ...
