Molecular Basis of Cardioprotection: Signal Transduction in Ischemic Pre-, Post-, and Remote Conditioning

TL;DR: The present review characterizes the signalTransduction underlying the conditioning phenomena, including their physical and chemical triggers, intracellular signal transduction, and effector mechanisms, notably in the mitochondria, as a highly concerted spatiotemporal program.
Journal ArticleDOI

Remote Ischemic Preconditioning and Outcomes of Cardiac Surgery.

TL;DR: Remote ischemic preconditioning did not improve clinical outcomes in patients undergoing elective on-pump CABG with or without valve surgery and there were no significant between-group differences in either adverse events or the secondary end points of perioperative myocardial injury.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cardiovascular remodelling in coronary artery disease and heart failure

TL;DR: The remodelling processes in atherosclerosis, vascular and myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion injury, and heart failure are characterised, and potential avenues for innovative therapeutic approaches are drawn attention, including conditioning and metabolic strategies.

Interaction of Risk Factors, Comorbidities, and Comedications with Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury and Cardioprotection by Preconditioning, Postconditioning, and Remote Conditioning

TL;DR: The critical need to take into account the presence of cardiovascular risk factors and concomitant medications when designing preclinical studies for the identification and validation of cardioprotective drug targets and clinical studies is emphasized.

Regional ischemic 'preconditioning' protects remote virgin myocardium from subsequent sustained coronary occlusion.

TL;DR: Brief episodes of ischemia in one vascular bed protect remote, virgin myocardium from subsequent sustained coronary artery occlusion in this canine model, and implies that preconditioning may be mediated by factor(s) activated, produced, or transported throughout the heart during brief ischemic/reperfusion.

Effect of remote ischaemic preconditioning on myocardial injury in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery: a randomised controlled trial

TL;DR: It is shown that adult patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass graft surgery at a single tertiary centre could benefit from remote ischaemic preconditioning, using transient upper limb ischaemia.

Randomized controlled trial of the effects of remote ischemic preconditioning on children undergoing cardiac surgery: first clinical application in humans.

TL;DR: The myocardial protective effects of RIPC are demonstrated using a simple noninvasive technique of four 5-min cycles of lower limb ischemia and reperfusion using a blood pressure cuff in children undergoing repair of congenital heart defects.

Cardioprotection: chances and challenges of its translation to the clinic

Gerd Heusch
- 12 Jan 2013 - 
TL;DR: Conditioning protocols have been successfully used in patients undergoing elective coronary revascularisation and reperfusion after acute myocardial infarct, and pharmacological recruitment of cardioprotective signalling has also been used to reduce infarCT size, but so far without prognostic benefit.
