ABSTRACT
Experimental data indicate that postconditioning at a distance is an effective method for cardiac protection against reperfusion injury. Remote postconditioning prevents reperfusion necrosis and apoptosis of cardiomyocytes, decreases a probability of postinfarction remodeling of the heart. Cardioprotective effect of remote postconditioning depends on the release of tissue factor(s) increasing cardiac tolerance to long-term ischemia-reperfusion after transient ischemia. Clinical investigations show that postconditioning at a distance is an effective method for the prevention of reperfusion injury of the heart during coronary artery bypass surgery.
