Soluble E-selectin, ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 levels in systemic and coronary circulation in patients with variant angina.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:In pigs, the infarct size (IS) reduction achieved by a strong preconditioning stimulus (IPs) of 10 min ischemia and 15 min reperfusion is greater than that by a weaker preconditioning stimulus (IPw) of 3 min ischemia and 15 min reperfusion. The cardioprotection achieved by IPw is completely abolished by block...
