That's a safe claim. The Wikipedia article was created in 2006. The section on remote ischemic preconditioning was added in May 2014. Would you care to make a prediction as to when the word "experimental" will be removed from the first sentence?I disagree ... that such a cheap ... and effective treatment will be completely ignored.
I don't know enough about medical research to even semi-accurately predict how long the testing process is. I made a safe claim because I didn't have the tools to make a bold one. Also don't like using Wikipedia as a metric. So let's say that I think, within the next five years (two years? really no idea), this process and the relevant application from the article will have funding for trials. Private or public, though we can perhaps agree to both be wrong and pleasantly surprised if it's public. Lot of Boomers getting cardiac surgery.
No reduction in risk of death with ischemic conditioning As reported in The BMJ, the team analyzed results from 68 randomized controlled comparisons, and found that 205 out of 5678 patients undergoing ischemic conditioning died, compared with 219 of 5646 in the control group (risk ratio [RR]=0.96).“Adoption of ischaemic conditioning cannot be recommended for routine use unless further high quality and well powered evidence shows benefit,” write Martin Gallagher (University of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia) and co-authors.
