The RIPC group was characterized by the lowest ST-segment shift during coronary ischemia, which was comparable to coronary balloon occlusion number 3 in the control group, indicating successful preconditioning by the conventional RIPC method. In contrast, ST segment elevations were significantly higher in the RIPC + group. Troponin levels taken 24 h after the study procedure were significantly lower in the RIPC when compared to the control and the RIPC + group.}, note = {Online available at: \url{https://doi.org/10.3233/CH-189303} (DOI).
