Key result
Intravenous infusions of glucose or glucose-insulin-potassium were evaluated for their effects on haemodynamics and infarct size, but quantitative results were not reported in the abstract.
Why the study?
Does intravenous glucose or glucose-insulin-potassium improve haemodynamics and reduce infarct size in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Population
36 patients with transmural acute myocardial infarction of less than 12 hours' duration
Comparison
Intravenous infusion of 50% glucose alone or… vs Intravenous infusion of normal saline alone
Design
Cohort

GIK infusion showed no hemodynamic or infarct size benefit in early AMI; challenges routine metabolic support and leaves optimal substrate use open.
Does intravenous glucose or glucose-insulin-potassium improve haemodynamics and reduce infarct size in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
This study describes a protocol to evaluate the effects of glucose and glucose-insulin-potassium on haemodynamics and infarct size in acute myocardial infarction, though results are not reported in the abstract.
Heng et al. (1977) studied Transmural acute myocardial infarction (n=36). Glucose and glucose-insulin-potassium (GIK) vs. Normal saline was evaluated on Haemodynamics and infarct size (measured by total creatine kinase release). Intravenous infusions of glucose or glucose-insulin-potassium were evaluated for their effects on haemodynamics and infarct size, but quantitative results were not reported in the abstract.
