Remote ischemic preconditioning of the heart exerts anti-necrotic, antiarrhythmic, inotropic effects that have been demonstrated in clinical trials in cardiac surgery both in adults and children. However, so far there is no consensus between cardiologists regarding the impact of remote preconditioning on the incidence of intraoperative myocardial infarctions and mortality in the postoperative period. Until now there is no unanimity concerning choice of remote preconditioning protocol and timing of its application before cardiac surgery.
