Early Renal-Protective Effects of Remote Ischemic Preconditioning in Elderly Patients with Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI).

CONCLUSIONS</strong> Although RIPC did not significantly reduce CIN incidence in elderly patients with NSTEMI, the application of more sensitive biomarkers - NGAL and KIM-1 - indicated a reduction of sub-clinical renal damage by RIPC, especially in the early stage of injury. As a simple and well-tolerated method, RIPC may be a potentially feasible option to prevent CIN. PMID: 31762443 [PubMed - in process]
