Remote ischaemic preconditioning ameliorates anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity and preserves mitochondrial integrity
Serial cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) evaluation of a highly translatable large-animal (pig) model of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (AIC) shows that cumulative exposure to anthracyclines results in significantly reduced left ventricular ejection fraction and extensive mitochondrial fragmentation. Remote Ischemic Conditioning applied before each anthracycline cycle preserved cardiac contractility and left ventricular ejection
