December 22, 2016 updated by: Guyan Wang, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Fuwai Hospital

Cardioprotective Effects of Remote Ischemic Preconditioning With Postconditioning of the Recipient on Donor Heart in Heart Transplantation Surgery

The purpose of this study is to determine whether remote ischemic preconditioning with postconditioning (RIPC+RIPostC) reduces myocardial injury and improves clinical outcomes in heart transplantation surgery.
