Lower Leg Remote Ischemic Preconditioning in Elective Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI)

NCT01357499 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL

Last updated 2016-11-16

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate if remote ischemic preconditioning by combining limb ischaemia with electric muscle stimulation of the ischemic muscle provokes better results in preconditioning the human heart than limb ischaemia alone does.

Conditions

  • Ischemic Heart Disease

Interventions

DEVICE

blood pressure cuff

A Blood pressure cuff and and the muscle stimulator pads will be applied to one lower leg. The blood pressure cuff will be inflated with 200 mmHg for 5 minutes. Next reperfusion will be allowed for 5 minutes. This cycle will be repeated for 3 times.

DEVICE

blood pressure cuff + electric muscle stimulator

A Blood pressure cuff and and the muscle stimulator pads will be applied to one lower leg. The blood pressure Cuff will be inflated with 200 mmHg for 5 minutes. Next reperfusion will be allowed for 5 minutes. This cycle will be repeated for 3 times. In addition electrical muscle stimulation will be performed throughout the whole preconditioning cycle.
