Ischaemic preconditioning has proved to be a unique tool for revealing the role of intracellular signal transduction in cell survival of ischaemic heart muscle.1 Downey and co-workers proposed the existence of a sequence of events involving a trigger, mediators, and end effect(s) that are able to delay the progression of cell death.2 By using pharmacological preconditioning protocols, a set of cell membrane receptors that stimulate cell survival signalling have been identified, and use of specific kinase inhibitors has enabled further identification of the key signalling pathways.3,4 With the development of transgenic mice models, a new set of tools for investigation of mechanisms controlling the progression of cell death in the heart are available.
