From the authors: “Because poor cardiovascular health puts stroke survivors at a heightened risk for recurrent stroke and other cardiovascular events, an intervention that is simple, cost-effective and easy to perform like [remote ischemic conditioning] holds promise as a means to improve cardiovascular health in this at-risk population.”
This study is highlighted as one of December’s “best of the best” as part of the American Physiological Society’s APSselect program.
