May prompt metabolic monitoring in post-surgical low-output states; leaves open insulin's therapeutic role.
How do insulin secretion and metabolic markers change in patients developing a low cardiac output state after open-heart surgery?
Low cardiac output state after open-heart surgery is associated with severe suppression of insulin secretion and increased metabolic stress markers, suggesting a potential therapeutic role for insulin.
Majid et al. (1971) studied this question.
