The protective effect of remote ischemic conditioning is lost in patients with hypercholesterolemia

• We investigated the impact of hypercholesterolemia on the protective effect of RIC on ischemia-reperfusion injury in a well-characterized patient population with isolated hypercholesterolemia. The results show that the protective effect of RIC is absent in patients with hypercholesterolemia but is apparent in patients with hypercholesterolemic following treatment with lipid-lowering drugs. The results are of importance for the understanding of how comorbidities affect the therapeutic potential of RIC.
