Study Summary

The investigators have previously shown that elective vascular surgery is a high-risk operation with an anticipated risk of either death or heart attack of 15%. This study is testing whether a protocol of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) applied 24 hours prior to the operation is safe, feasible and reduces the incidence of an adverse, perioperative cardiac complication.

Primary Outcome

Troponin I is a biomarker of myocardial necrosis that may indicate myocardial damage or injury that occurs during the perioperative period
