Abstract:Introduction
Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) is a new noninvasive myocardial protection strategy
that uses blood pressure cuf inflation to simulate transient non-fatal ischemia to protect the
myocardium and reduce ischemia-reperfusion injury. Sulfonylureas may mask the effects of RIPC
due to their cardioprotec-tive effect. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate whether RIPC, in
the absence of sulfonylureas, reduces troponin release in patients undergoing cardiac
surgery.
