One week of daily remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) improves cutaneous vasodilatory (VD) function. However, the underlying mechanisms and the number of sessions needed to optimize this adaptive response remain unclear. We hypothesized that the responses to localized heating of the skin will be greater after 2 wk as opposed to 1 wk of RIPC. Furthermore, 2 wk of repeated RIPC will augment cutaneous VD responses to thermal and pharmacological stimuli. In METHODS, twenty-four participants (24 +/- 2 yr; 13 men, 11 women) performed repeated RIPC (7 daily sessions over 1 wk, n = 11; 12 sessions over 2 wk, n = 13), consisting of four repetitions of 5 min of arm blood flow occlusion separated by 5 min reperfusion. Laser speckle contrast imaging was used to measure skin blood flow responses, in perfusion units (PU), to local heating (T-loc = 42 degrees C), acetylcholine (ACh), and sodium nitroprusside (SNP) before and after repeated RIPC. Data were expressed as cutaneous vascular conductance (CVC, in PU/mmHg). In RESULTS, the VD response to local heating increased after RIPC (Delta CVC from baseline; 1 wk: 0.94 +/- 0.11 to 1.19 +/- 0.15, 2 wk: 1.18 +/- 0.07 to 1.33 +/- 0.10 PU/mmHg; P < 0.05) but the Delta CVC did not differ between weeks. SNP-induced VD increased after 2 wk of RIPC (Delta CVC; 0.34 +/- 0.07 to 0.63 +/- 0.11 PU/mmHg; P < 0.05), but ACh-induced VD did not. In conclusion, repeated RIPC improves local heating- and SNPmediated cutaneous VD. When compared with 1 wk of RIPC, 2 wk of RIPC does not induce further improvements in cutaneous VD function. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Repeated RIPC increases the cutaneous vasodilatory response to local heating and to sodium nitroprusside but not to acetylcholine. Thus, endothelial-independent and local heating-mediated cutaneous vasodilation are improved following RIPC. However, 2 wk of RIPC sessions are not more effective than 1 wk of RIPC sessions in enhancing local heating-mediated cutaneous vasodilation.
