First seen Jan 05, 2026 · Last updated Jun 14, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This study tests a simple, non-invasive technique called remote ischemic preconditioning in 240 adults with heart failure who are scheduled for heart catheterization. The technique involves briefly inflating a blood pressure cuff on the arm to trigger the body's natural defenses, potentially reducing kidney injury and improving recovery. The goal is to see if this easy-to-apply method can lower the risk of kidney damage and other complications after the procedure.
