The impact of remote ischemic preconditioning on cardiac biomarker and functional response to endurance exercise

Abstract

Abstract:Introduction. Remote ischaemic preconditioning (RIPC; repeated short reversible periods of

Remote ischemic preconditioning accelerates systemic O2 dynamics and enhances endurance during work-to-work cycling exercise

“…As expected, we also demonstrated that RIPC can enhance exercise endurance during severe‐intensity exercise in this test. Several previous studies have reported the beneficial effect of RIPC on exercise performance, whereas other studies did not observe such effects . Of those, Jean‐St‐Michel et al determined the beneficial effect of RIPC on whole‐body exercise performance by showing that RIPC can enhance 100‐m swim performance.…”

“…Additionally, McDonald et al reported that RIPC did not enhance exercise performance, as assessed by VO 2 peak and exercise duration during a ramp‐incremental cycling test in patients with heart failure. Moreover, Cocking et al reported that RIPC did not enhance exercise performance, as assessed by power output and exercise distance during a 1‐hour cycling trial in healthy subjects. In these previous studies, McDonald et al recruited patients with heart failure, and Cocking et al set relatively long exercise duration.…”

“…Moreover, Cocking et al reported that RIPC did not enhance exercise performance, as assessed by power output and exercise distance during a 1‐hour cycling trial in healthy subjects. In these previous studies, McDonald et al recruited patients with heart failure, and Cocking et al set relatively long exercise duration. These heterogeneous factors could inhibit the beneficial effect of RIPC on exercise performance.…”

“…However, because in this study IPC was applied to the arms due to RIPC of the lower limbs, their findings may include the effects of both IPC and RIPC on enhanced swim performance, as actions of the upper limb (ie, arm) in addition to lower limb are required to successful swimming performance. Furthermore, several studies have reported that RIPC does not have an effect on whole‐body exercise performance . Thus, there is inadequate evidence for the beneficial effect of RIPC on whole‐body exercise performance.…”

Therapeutic experience of 289 elderly patients with biliary diseases

“…In patients with a history of AMI, surgery should only be performed when the illness has been stable for at least 6 mo. In the case of AMI, the blood levels of cardiac Troponin I (cTnI), brain-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP)[29-31] should be evaluated to determine the severity of myocardial injury and heart failure. If the patient has a history of bradycardia, a cardiac pacemaker should be implanted before surgery.…”
