25. A method for restricting adverse remodeling of a left ventricle of a heart of a subject following a myocardial infarction comprising performing repeated remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) regimens on the subject beginning after an ischemic phase and a reperfusion phase of the myocardial infarction and continuing at least daily for one or more days, the repeated RIC regimens being commenced within thirty days after the myocardial infarction occurs.
