Animal data link cardiac cholinergic activation to smaller infarcts; leaves open translation to remote preconditioning in patients.
Does activation of the non-neuronal cardiac cholinergic system protect the myocardium during ischemic insults?
The non-neuronal cardiac cholinergic system plays a cardioprotective role during ischemia by conserving ATP and inhibiting oxygen consumption, representing a potential mechanism for remote ischemic preconditioning.
