Abstract
The study identifies preischemic β-adrenoceptor stimulation as a pharmacological preconditioning protocol that does not simply mimic classical ischemic preconditioning by induction of hemodynamic or energetic stress prior to a prolonged ischemic period. The observed loss of effectiveness in hypertensives may contribute to the reduced ischemic tolerance of hypertensives.
