Hypoxic preconditioning produces an infarct-limiting effect both in the early and delayed periods. The increase in heart resistance to ischemia-repefusion was more pronounced after early preconditioning. Hypoxic preconditioning did not change heart resistance to the arrhythmogenic effect of coronary occlusion and reperfusion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
