“…Remote ischemic conditioning by repetitive limb ischemia/reperfusion also reduces myocardial damage in patients undergoing elective interventional2 or surgical coronary revascularization3, 4, 5, 6 and in those with reperfused acute myocardial infarction 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13. Cardioprotection was confirmed by reduced release of cardiac biomarkers2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10 or by increased salvage in cardiac imaging7, 8, 9, 11 but also resulted in improved short‐5, 8 and more long‐term2, 4, 13, 14, 15 clinical outcome in retrospective analyses. Recently, the first prospective, randomized trial on patients with reperfused acute myocardial infarction confirmed improved clinical outcome as a primary end point of remote ischemic conditioning during follow‐up for 3.6 years 13.…”
