Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Remote ischemic conditioning
AutoRIC device will be placed on the upper arm and an active RIC protocol will be delivered (4x5 min cycles of inflation to 200mmHg and deflation) prior to PPCI.
|
Device: Remote ischemic conditioning
An automated autoRIC™ cuff will be placed on the upper arm and inflated to 200mmHg for 5 minutes and then deflated for 5 minutes, a cycle which will be undertaken 4 times in total. |
Sham Comparator: Sham control
Sham AutoRIC device will be placed on the upper arm and a sham RIC protocol will be delivered prior to PPCI.
|
Device: Control
An automated autoRIC™ cuff will be placed on the upper arm and a simulated inflation and deflation protocol will be applied. |
