Remote ischaemic conditioning—approaching prime time?

Nature Reviews Cardiology volume 10, pages 619–621 (2013)Cite this article

Subjects

Remote ischaemic conditioning has been extensively studied, and encouraging proof-of-concept clinical trial data have emerged. A study newly published in The Lancet takes the field an important step forward, demonstrating for the first time that remote ischaemic conditioning before CABG surgery reduces all-cause mortality.
