Infarct size is a major determinant of prognosis after AMI. Evidence indicates that the combination of intracoronary ischemic conditioning (ICIC) and remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) can significantly reduce infarct size in STEMI patients. Whether the combination of these two interventions may improve clinical outcome after STEMI remains unknown. The objective of the present study is to determine whether combination of ICIC and RIC can improve STEMI patients clinical outcome at 6 months.
