Summary

Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is a noninvasive strategy in which one or more cycles of brief and transient limb ischemia confers protection against prolonged and severe ischemia in distant organs.This study aimed to investigate whether RIC is safe and effective in patients with AIS complicating ACS

Detailed description

Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is a noninvasive strategy in which one or more cycles of brief and transient limb ischemia confers protection against prolonged and severe ischemia in distant organs (e.g., brain and heart).It has been demonstrated to be an effective strategy to reduce plasma myocardial enzyme, infarct volume, and incidence of post-ACS heart failure in patients with ACS. Additionally, recent studies have found that RIC was safe and feasible in patients with AIS even in those caused by large artery occlusion and treated with reperfusion therapy, and it might benefit AIS patients by reducing the risk of brain tissue infarction and improving functional outcomes. To date, however, it is still unknow whether RIC, a systematic protective strategy, could benefit patients with AIS complicating ACS.This study aimed to investigate whether RIC is safe and effective in patients with AIS complicating ACS.
