Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare a treatment called remote ischemic preconditioning (rIP) to no treatment. rIP is a simple treatment that is believed to help patients recover better after heart surgery. This treatment involves applying a large blood pressure cuff to one leg. The blood pressure cuffs will be inflated for 5 minutes and then deflated for 5 minutes. This will be done 4 times in a row.
