Effect of remote ischaemic conditioning on left ventricular function in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients: The CONDI-2 echocardiographic sub-study
Abstract:BackgroundRemote ischaemic conditioning (RIC) applied to the arm by inflation and deflation of a pneumatic cuff has been shown to reduce myocardial infarct size in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). However, the effect of RIC on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) following infarct healing remains unknown.ObjectiveTo investigate whether RIC applied in the ambulance before PPCI can improve left ventricular (LV) function in STEMI p… Show more
