TRIC-VCI Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Active Control
Group I: RIC once per dayActive Control1 Intervention
RIC performed once a day on one arm. Each RIC session will consist of 4 cycles of unilateral or simultaneous bilateral upper arm ischemia for 5 minutes followed by reperfusion for another 5 minutes. The procedure will be performed by using an electric auto-control device with cuffs that inflate to a pressure of 200 mmHg during the ischemic period.
Group II: RIC twice per dayActive Control1 Intervention
RIC performed twice a day on one arm, approximately 12 hours apart. Each RIC session will consist of 4 cycles of unilateral or simultaneous bilateral upper arm ischemia for 5 minutes followed by reperfusion for another 5 minutes. The procedure will be performed by using an electric auto-control device with cuffs that inflate to a pressure of 200 mmHg during the ischemic period.
