This article is authored by 2 PIs of RESILIENCE (María Gomes-Silva from IPO Lisbon & Borja Ibanez from CNIC Spain). This editorial summarizes the results of the 2 first trials testing remote ischemic conditioning in the context of anthracycline cardiotoxicity. In this article, the 2 trials are described and their results put into perspective of resilience. The main message of the article is that trials testing cardioprotective interventions in the field of anthracycline cardiotoxicity should enroll patients at the highest risk for this adverse outcome. RESILIENCE is enrolling this type of patients and thus it is on the right track!

Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) it is a technique without radiation, which is considered the gold-standard for the evaluation of cardiac anatomy, function and even tissue composition. The RESILIENCE trial will use CMR as the main outcome measure methodology, and patients enrolled in the trial will undergo 3 scans across the duration of the study.
Multinational, prospective, proof of concept phase II, double-blinded, sham-controlled, randomized clinical trial (RCT) to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Remote Ischaemic Conditioning (RIC) in Lymphoma patients receiving anthracyclines. Patients scheduled to undergo ≥5 chemotherapy cycles will be eligible.
