Deskripsi

Various forms of preconditioning can prevent ischemic-reperfusion injury after myocardial infarction. Here, the authors show that in mice, the presence of chronic neuropathic pain can have a cardioprotective effect, and that this is dependent on neural activation in the paraventricular thalamus.
