Abstract
The rationale and study design for the multicentre, randomized, controlled CONDI2/ERIC-PPCI study are discussed. Ischaemic heart disease (IHD) is the leading cause of death and disability in Europe and worldwide. In patients presenting with an acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), early myocardial reperfusion using primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) is the most effective treatment for limiting myocardial infarct (MI) size and improving clinical outcomes. However, despite timely PPCI, the morbidity and mortality of STEMI patients remain significant—as such novel therapeutic strategies are required to reduce MI size in order to preserve left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction, prevent the onset of heart failure, and improve patient survival. In this respect, the heart can be protected against acute lethal ischaemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) by applying cycles of brief non-lethal ischaemia/reperfusion to an organ or tissue remote from the heart—a phenomenon called remote ischaemic conditioning (RIC).1–3 Interestingly, RIC can be induced non-invasively by simply inflating and deflating a blood pressure cuff placed on the upper arm, an intervention that has been reported to reduce MI size in several proof-of-concept clinical studies.4–10 Whether RIC can improve long-term clinical outcomes in this patient group is unknown and is the objective of the CONDI2/ERIC-PPCI study.
