  1. *The “Ankle Brachial Index (ABI)” is defined as the systolic blood pressure measured at the ankle divided by the systolic blood pressure measured at the arm [17].
  2. Demographic data, diagnoses and characteristics of patients. Data are given as mean ± standard deviation or absolute numbers (Percent). Differences between groups are not significant (“IPC + sevoflurane” = patients with sevoflurane preconditioning before ischemic preconditioning (IPC), “IPC” = patients without sevoflurane preconditioning before ischemic preconditioning).
