Here, we aimed to study the impact of RIPC in patients with stable angina pectoris and compare it with healthy individuals with respect to arterial stiffness and heart rate variability. In the randomized, sham-controlled, crossover blind design study, a group of 30 coronary heart disease (CHD) patients (63.9 \u00b1 1.6 years) with stable angina pectoris NYHA II-III and a control group of 20 healthy individuals (58.2 \u00b1 2.49) were both randomly allocated for remote RIPC or sham RIPC. Arterial stiffness, pulse wave velocity (Spygmacor, Australia), and heart rate variability (HRV) were recorded before and after the procedure followed by the crossover examination. In the group of healthy individuals, RIPC showed virtually no impact on the cardiovascular parameters, while, in the CHD group, the systolic and central systolic blood pressure, central pulse pressure, and augmentation decreased, and total power of HRV improved. We conclude that ischemic preconditioning reduces not only systolic blood pressure, but also reduces central systolic blood pressure and improves arterial compliance and heart rate modulation reserve, which may be associated with the antianginal effect of preconditioning.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm5070060","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,24]],"date-time":"2016-06-24T11:03:11Z","timestamp":1466766191000},"page":"60","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["The Impact of Remote Ischemic Preconditioning on Arterial Stiffness and Heart Rate Variability in Patients with Angina Pectoris"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"5","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2386-6707","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Naufal","family":"Zagidullin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Diseases, Bashkir State Medical University, Ufa, 450000, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elena","family":"Scherbakova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Diseases, Bashkir State Medical University, Ufa, 450000, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuliana","family":"Safina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Diseases, Bashkir State Medical University, Ufa, 450000, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rustem","family":"Zulkarneev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Diseases, Bashkir State Medical University, Ufa, 450000, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shamil","family":"Zagidullin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Diseases, Bashkir State Medical University, Ufa, 450000, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"H1306","DOI":"10.1152\/ajpheart.1986.251.6.H1306","article-title":"Four brief periods of myocardial ischemia cause no cumulative ATP loss or necrosis","volume":"251","author":"Reimer","year":"1986","journal-title":"Am.
