Remote preconditioning reduces ischemic injury in the explanted heart by a KATP channel-dependent mechanism.

Local and remote ischemic preconditioning (IPC) reduce ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and preserve cardiac function. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that remote preconditioning is memorized by the explanted heart and yields protection from subsequent I/R injury and that the underlying mec...
