Identifies comorbidities and comedications attenuating RIC in CABG; extends trial data to guide patient selection in future studies.
Does remote ischemic conditioning reduce myocardial injury in patients undergoing elective CABG?
Remote ischemic conditioning provides cardioprotection during CABG, which becomes more detectable with longer aortic cross-clamp times (≥57 min) and is not significantly confounded by age, gender, or common cardiovascular medications.
Kleinbongard et al. (2015) studied this question.
