  1. MMPOC = modified mechanical post-conditioning, IABP = intra aortic balloon pump, ICU = intensive care unit, SD = Standard Deviation.
  2. Nominal variables were assessed by Chi square test or Fisher’s Exact test, where applicable. Continuous and ordinal variables were evaluated between two groups by Student’s t test and Mann–Whitney U test, respectively.
