Summary
This study tests a simple, non-invasive technique called remote ischemic preconditioning in 240 adults with heart failure who are scheduled for a heart catheterization. Before the procedure, a blood pressure cuff on the arm is inflated briefly to temporarily restrict blood flow, which may trigger the body's own protective mechanisms. The goal is to see if this can reduce the risk of kidney injury and improve recovery after the procedure.
