Abstract

Short bouts of occlusion of blood flow can induce a preconditioning response that reduces subsequent damage from longer periods of ischemia. It has been shown that ischemic preconditioning (IPC) can be elicited remotely (RIPC) through limitation of blood flow and as recently described via only pain sensation. Non-obstructive banding (NOB) through the donning of tefillin (a box with sacred texts attached to a leather strap that is traditionally bound to the non-dominant arm of Jewish adults during morning prayers) has been shown to elicit an RIPC response at least partially through pain sensation. This study evaluated the effects of NOB on heart rate variability (HRV) dependent factors that are known to be affected by various RIPC stimuli. We recruited 30 healthy subjects and subjected them to NOB versus control and found various HRV markers associated with RIPC to be changed in the NOB group. This finding provides further evidence that tefillin, likely through NOB induced RIPC changes, may still be a viable clinical pathway to prevent and decrease the morbidity associated with ischemic events.
