1-22. (canceled)
A method for reducing ischemic injury in a subject by performing remote ischemic preconditioning.
A method for modulating a vascular condition by administering a program of ischemic conditioning.
49-54. (canceled)
A method for assessing an ischemic conditioning treatment comprising:
- measuring one or more baseline hemodynamic parameters of a patient,
- applying an ischemic conditioning treatment in the patient by occluding and releasing arterial flow in one or more extremities of the patient on a scheduled, repeated basis,
- measuring post-ischemia parameters in the patient, and
- comparing the baseline and post-ischemia parameters to provide an assessment of the ischemic conditioning treatment over time.
