I read the article written by Stiermaier et al1 with great interest. Stiermaier et al performed long-term, clinical follow-up, post hoc analysis of a prospective, randomized, open-label, controlled LIPSIA CONDITIONING trial of combined intrahospital remote ischaemic perconditioning and postconditioning in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). 2 The study randomized 696 patients with STEMI in Germany with symptoms< 12 hours in 1: 1: 1 to either combined remote ischemic perconditioning (RIC) and postconditioning in addition to primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), postconditioning alone in addition to primary PCI, or conventional primary PCI alone (control). Major adverse cardiac events consisting of cardiac death, reinfarction, and new congestive heart failure were assessed during long-term median follow-up of 3.6 years. The main finding was that combined RIC and postconditioning in addition to primary PCI, compared with PCI alone, significantly reduced the incidence of major adverse cardiac event. The difference in major adverse cardiac event was primarily driven by significantly lower incidence of new congestive heart failure events in the group that received combined RIC and postconditioning in addition to primary PCI, compared with the group that received conventional PCI alone. This is an important finding that adds to the growing interest in the therapeutic role of remote ischemic conditioning in heart failure.Furthermore, the authors observed that all the new congestive heart failure events occurred in patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). While it is conceivable that remote ischemic conditioning may indirectly prevent new congestive heart failure among the patients with STEMI by reducing infarct size and improving cardiac function, however, in the LIPSIA trial, estimated LVEF was not different among the groups after primary PCI, suggesting that other factors
