The temporal effect of treatment with IPC effluent on myocardial infarct size. Infarct size is expressed as percentage of the region at risk of infarction (area at risk). Effluent from preconditioned donor hearts (IPC) administered either 10 min prior to index ischemia (EffPre) or for 10 min at ischemic-reperfusion (EffRep) significantly reduced infarct size in non-preconditioned recipient hearts as compared to controls (Ctr). Bars represent mean ± SEM. N ≥ 7 in each group. *P < 0.05 versus Ctr group
