Remote ischemic conditioning before primary PCI in STEMI patients Objective: To test the hypothesis that remote ischemic conditioning during STEMI before primary PCI increases myocardial salvage. Study: Single center, randomized trial. Population: Patients with first STEMI, < 12 hours of symptoms. Endpoint: Myocardial salvage index.
