Remote ischemic preconditioning with - but not without - metabolic support protects the neonatal porcine heart against ischemia-reperfusion injury
Background While remote ischemic preconditioning (rIPC) protects the mature heart against ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury, the effect on the neonatal heart is not known. The neonatal heart relies almost solely on carbohydrate metabolism, which is modified by rIPC in the mature heart. We hypothesize...
