Objective: We previously showed that brief intermittent ischemia applied during the onset of reperfusion (i.e., postconditioning) is cardioprotective in a canine model of ischemia-reperfusion. This study tested the hypothesis that the early minutes of reperfusion (R) during which postconditioning (Post-con) is applied are critical to its cardioprotection. Methods: In anesthetized open-chest rats, the left coronary artery (LCA) was occluded for 30 min and reperfused for 3 h. All rats were randomly divided into six groups: Control (n = 8): no intervention at R; Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) (n = 8): the LCA was occluded for 5 min followed by 10 min of R before the index occlusion; Post-con 1 (n = 8): after LCA occlusion, three cycles of 10 s R followed by 10 s LCA re-occlusion were applied during the first minute of R; Post-con 2 (n = 8): Six cycles of 10 s R and 10 s re-occlusion were applied during the first 2 min of R; Delayed Post-con (n = 8): the ligature was loosened for full reflow for the first minute of R, after which the three-cycle Post-con algorithm was applied; Sham (n = 6): the surgical procedure was identical to other groups, but the LCA ligature was not ligated. Results: Infarct size (TTC staining) was 23% smaller in Postcon 1 (40 +/- 2%*) than in Control (52 +/- 3%), confirmed by plasma creatine kinase activity (18 +/- 2* vs. 46 +/- 6 IU/g protein). There was no further reduction in infarct size with 6 cycles of Post-con (40 +/- 2.9%, p>0.05 vs. Post-con 1). Meanwhile, infarct size reduction was significantly greater in the IPC group (17 +/- 3%) than in Post-con 1 (p
