Ischemic postconditioning is defined as the protection conferred to ischemic myocardium by preceding brief periods of subletethal ischemia separated by periods of reperfusion. The postconditioning reduces reperfusion induced damage, reducing oxidative damage and attenuating the local inflammatory response during revascularization, thus reducing infarct size, reducing the process of apoptosis, the activation of neutrophils and the endothelial dysfunction. This process can also be pharmacologically induced, and is known as pharmacological postconditioning. In this case, volatile anaesthetics show cardioprotection when administered after ischemia, during the period of reperfusion.
Journal of Medical Diagnostic Methods Open Access is one of the top online publishing journals for research from the field of Ischemic Postconditioning. The open access articles published in this scholarly journal are reviewed by at least two reviewers of the associated fields. The journal publishes original research articles, reviews, case reports, short communications, etc and emphasizes theoretical and experimental work. To ensure high quality articles, both editors and reviewers actively participate in the peer review process and help in completing the review process within 21 days. As an important educational platform the journal provides scientists and researchers access to the newest trends and research outlooks.
