Active Comparator: Remote ischemic preconditioning

Procedure: remote ischemic preconditioning
3 cycles of 5-minutes inflation of a blood pressure cuff to 200mmHg (or at least to a pressure 50mm Hg higher than the systolic arterial pressure) to one upper arm, followed by5-minutes reperfusion with the cuff deflated

Sham Comparator: Sham remote ischemic preconditioning
|
Procedure: Sham remote ischemic preconditioning
3cycles of upper limb pseudo ischemia (low pressure, 5-minutes blood pressure cuff inflation to a pressure of 20 mm Hg and 5-minutes cuff deflation).
