Effect of RIPC on cardiac function during index ischemia

Control RIPC P‐value
Time to stop beating (min) 8.6 ± 1.2 10.3 ± 4.0 0.66
Time to start rigor contracture (min) 17 ± 2.6 19.3 ± 2.7 0.55
Time to reach maximal diastolic tension (min) after onset of rigor 11.0 ± 2.5 9.3 ± 2.5 0.65
Maximum diastolic tension (mg) 869 ± 105 711 ± 100 0.31

Data are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 7–8 hearts/group). RIPC, remote ischemic preconditioning.
