rief coronary artery occlusion (CAO) pretect myocardium. Whether ischemia in remote organs protects myocardium is unknown. 15 minutes (brief) occlusion of the mesensteric artery (MAO) and formal artery (FAO) can also protect against myocardial infarction as effectivelly as GAO. The present study may have important clinical implication
because it suggest that ischemia in remote organs could result in cardioprotection when it procedes a coronary thrombotic evetnt
