Effect of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) on ischemia-reperfusion (IR) induced endothelial dysfunction. In the Baseline group, Flow-mediated dilation (FMD) was significantly blunted post-IR. This effect was prevented by RIPC applied immediately and 24 h. *P<0.01 versus FMD post-IR in the baseline group.
