Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: RESULTS: Mean (sd) myocardial infarct size was reduced from 64% +/- 9% of the area at risk in the control group to 19% +/- 12% with ischemic preconditioning (P < 0.001), and to 50% +/- 9% with xenon anesthesia (P < 0.05 versus control, P < 0.001 versus ischemic preconditioning). Myocardial infarct size was not reduced with xenon preconditioning compared with the control group (59% +/- 11%, P = 0.41). CONCLUSION:
