Background. One or more brief episodes of coronary artery occlusion protect or ''precondition'' the myocardium perfused by that artery from a subsequent episode of sustained ischemia. We sought to determine whether ischemic preconditioning protects only those myocytes subjected to brief coronary occlusion or whether brief occlusions in one vascular bed also limit infarct size and/or attenuate contractile dysfunction in remote virgin myocardium subjected to subsequent sustained coronary occlusion.Methods and Results. In the preliminary limb of the study, six anesthetized dogs underwent four episodes of 5-minute circumflex branch occlusion plus 5-minute reperfusion, followed by 1 hour of sustained left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion and 4.5 hours of reflow. Subendocardial blood flow during left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion (measured by injection of radiolabeled microspheres) was 0.07+/-0.03 mL . min-1 . g tissue-1 , similar to the value of 0.07+/-0.02 mL . min-1 . g-1 observed in a group of eight concurrent control dogs. However, infarct size (assessed by triphenyltetrazolium staining) in the circumflex preconditioned group averaged 4+/-1% of the myocardium at risk, significantly less (p
