Protective Effects of Remote Ischemic Conditioning in Elderly With Acute Ischemic Stroke Complicating Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Single-center Randomised Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating RIC and sham-RIC for Elderly Patients and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 80 participants across 1 site.
Detailed 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
