| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we investigated the effects of remote ischemic conditioning for patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (EF>40%). Thirty patients were randomly assigned to receive remote ischemic conditioning (for 3 days) or as control. All patients were followed up for <2 years or until the occurrences of clinical endpoints including death and admission with heart failure. During follow up periods, 13 endpoints were observed. However, there were no significant differences in occurrence of clinical endpoints between 2 groups (5 patients [33%], in remote conditioning, vs. 8patients [53%], in control, p=0.27). Moreover, assessment of biomarkers including BNP and troponin-T at 7-10days after assignment showed that both biomarker levels were more reduced in remote conditioning group compared with control group.
