Brief description Brief episodes of interruption of blood flow to the arm or leg provide strong protection against prolonged interruption of blood flow to a target organ (e.g., heart or lung). This is known as remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC). The strongest protection occurs 24 hours after blood flow interruption to the limb and may be mediated by a humoral cascade known as kallikrein-kinin. RIPC may provide protection against heart attack and stroke.
