Remote ischemic preconditioning, inflammation
Brief summary
Remote ischemic preconditioning has proven beneficial in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary artery bypass surgery. Animal studies suggest remote ischemic preconditioning increases levels of interleukin 10. The investigators aim to determine whether remote ischemic preconditioning results in an increase in IL-10 levels in patients following acute myocardial infarction.
Interventions
Blood pressure cuff will be inflated to a pressure of 200mmHg for 5 minutes. This will be repeated x 3, separated by 5 minutes.
