Does glucagon improve haemodynamics in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Glucagon administration in acute myocardial infarction produces a positive inotropic response and raises blood pressure without inducing arrhythmias, offering temporary improvement in cardiogenic shock.
Eddy et al. (1969) conducted a case report in Acute myocardial infarction (n=6). Glucagon was evaluated on Haemodynamic response (inotropic response, blood pressure, chronotropic effect). Glucagon produced a positive inotropic response and a significant rise in blood pressure in all 6 patients with acute myocardial infarction, without inducing arrhythmias.
