No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Strategies for myocardial protection during open heart surgeries are desired. Several experimental studies have shown beneficial effects of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC). The underlying mechanisms are not totally understood. This study intends to evaluate molecular mechanisms involved with RIPC on myocardium of patients underwent open heart surgeries.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

IRPC, Remote preconditioning

The patients will be submitted to 5 minutes of upper limb compression by cuff followed by 5 minutes of reperfusion. This cycle will be repeated 4 times.
