    BackgroundRemote perconditioning has been proved to reduce myocardial infarction and improve ventricular function in vivo. This study aims to determine the protection of remote perconditioning against cardiac reperfusion injury in patients undergoing valve replacement.MethodsEighty-one patients admitted for selective valve replacement were divided into three groups randomly. Control patients (con. n = 27) underwent sham placement of the tourniquet around the right thigh without inflation; the remote preconditioning group (pre. n = 26) received three cycles of 4/4 min right lower limb ischemia and reperfusion after induction of anesthesia, the limb ischemia was induced by the tourniquet inflated to 600 mmHg; the remote perconditioning group (per. n = 28) received the same stimulus immediately after aortic cross-clamping. Venous blood samples were obtained preoperatively, 5 min before declamping, 30 min, 4, 12, and 72 h after declamping for detecting troponin I (cTnI) concentration. The clinical data of inotrope requirement, drainage, ventilation. and intensive care time were routinely recorded.ResultsThe remote perconditioning group had significantly lower release of cTnI 5 min before declamping (con. versus pre. versus per., 0.15 ± 0.10 versus 0.13 ± 0.08 versus 0.10 ± 0.04 ng/mL, P = 0.050) and 30 min after declamping (con. versus pre. versus per., 0.40 ± 0.24 versus 0.41 ± 0.40 versus 0.24 ± 0.13 ng/mL, P = 0.043). Less incidence of defibrillation were observed in the remote perconditioning groups.ConclusionsRemote perconditioning, which is induced by transient lower limb ischemia after aortic cross-clamping, reduces myocardial injury over cardioplegia in adults undergoing selective valve replacement.Copyright © 2010 Elsevier Inc.
