Corticosteroids and hyperoxia protect the heart against ischemia-reperfusion injury and may attenuate vascular reactivity. We hypothesized that (1) combining these two pretreatments induces an additive cardioprotection, (2) protection depends on activation of survival kinases and/or heat shock proteins, and (3) these interventions would change vascular reactivity into a more relaxed state.
