Summary
This study tests a simple, non-invasive technique called remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) to prevent heart injury in patients at high risk for heart problems who are having major abdominal surgery. RIPC involves briefly inflating a blood pressure cuff on the arm to trigger the body's natural defenses. The trial includes 766 participants and compares RIPC to a sham procedure to see if it reduces heart damage after surgery.
