Remote ischemic preconditioning of the heart: Combining lower limb ischemia and electronic stimulation of the gastrocnemius muscle.

CONCLUSION: Our results again confirm the feasibility of remote ischemic preconditioning in patients undergoing coronary angioplasty. According to our results ischemia combined with electronic skeletal muscle stimulation was not superior to conventional RIPC cycles (skeletal muscle ischemia alone).
