Protection of the Heart With Remote Ischemic Preconditioning During Heart Surgery: A Pilot Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Blood Pressure Cuff for Remote Ischemic Preconditioning and Myocardial Protection. Completed, enrolled 57 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare a treatment called remote ischemic preconditioning (rIP) to no treatment. rIP is a simple treatment that is believed to help patients recover better after heart surgery.
