Why the study?
Acute ischemic stroke complicating acute myocardial infarction severely worsens prognosis, and whether remote ischemic conditioning provides clinical benefit in these patients is unknown.
Does remote ischemic conditioning reduce major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events in patients with acute ischemic stroke complicating acute myocardial infarction?
Does remote ischemic conditioning reduce major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events in patients with acute ischemic stroke complicating acute myocardial infarction?
Remote ischemic conditioning significantly reduces MACCEs and improves functional independence at 90 days in patients with acute ischemic stroke complicating acute myocardial infarction.

RIC lowered MACCE, mortality, and improved independence in AIS complicating AMI; extends RIC evidence to this high-risk overlap population.
