Ischemic postconditioning (PostC), i.e. brief ischemia-reperfusion cycles before full reperfusion, is protective against cardiac ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Inhibition of the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger NHE1 and delayed intracellular pH-normalization have been proposed to underlie protection by PostC.
