Summary
Remote ischemic conditioning has been shown to protect myocardium from ischemia-reperfusion
injury during cardiac intervention or cardiac surgery. However, effect of beta-blocker,
commonly used cardiovascular medication in patients with cardiac diseases such as
hypertension or angina pectoris, on cardioprotective role of remote ischemic conditioning has
not been well documented. The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of
beta-blocker on remote ischemic conditioning in healthy volunteers.
