Seven-Day Remote Ischemic Preconditioning Improves Local and Systemic Endothelial Function and Microcirculation in Healthy Humans

Abstract

Daily exposure to IPC for 7 days leads to local and remote improvements in brachial artery FMD and resting skin microcirculation that remain after cessation of the intervention and beyond the late phase of protection. These findings may have clinical relevance for micro- and macrovascular improvements.
