Antiischemic and antiarrhythmic effects of remote ischemic pre-and postconditioning phenomenons in old rats
The aim of this study was to determine the antiischemic and antiarrhythmic eff ects of remote ischemic pre- and postconditioning phenomenons in old rats. It was found that remote ischemic pre- and postconditioning phenomenons equally protect myocardium against irreversible ischemia-reperfusion injury. However, as opposed to young rats, remote ischemic preconditioning was not protecting myocardium against arrhythmias in old rats.
