Description
Summary:Ischemic tolerance is a robust internal defense mechanism of all living organisms. The effectiveness of this mechanism has been repeatedly demonstrated in experiments, but a comprehensive review of the clinical applicability of this phenomenon in practice has not yet been published. The results in clinical practice sound ambiguous and unconvincing in comparison with the results of experimental studies. Also, in many localities, the effect of ischemic tolerance was not clinically proven. For the reasons mentioned, the authors analyze the possible causes of the mentioned discrepancies and provide a comprehensive insight into the possible relevant clinical use of this phenomenon in practice for different groups of patients.
