OBJECTIVES: Our aim was to establish whether the efficacy of post-conditioning is maintained in aging hearts. BACKGROUND: Post-conditioning, or relief of myocardial ischemia in a stuttered manner, has been shown to reduce infarct size, in part because of up-regulation of survival kinases (extracellular-signal regulated kinase [ERK] 1/2 or PI3-kinase/Akt) during the early min of reperfusion. All of these data...
