Key result
Treatment with 5% dextrose infusion for cardiogenic shock suggests the syndrome may be caused by a blood volume deficiency relative to the need for distension of the acutely injured heart.
Why the study?
Does 5% dextrose infusion improve circulation in patients with cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction?

Does not support routine dextrose use in cardiogenic shock; hypothesis-generating for relative hypovolemia and requires prospective validation.
Does 5% dextrose infusion improve circulation in patients with cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction?
The paper suggests that cardiogenic shock in acute myocardial infarction may involve relative hypovolemia and can be treated with volume expansion using 5% dextrose infusion.
P.G.F. Nixon (1968) studied Cardiogenic shock in acute myocardial infarction. 5% dextrose infusion was evaluated. Treatment with 5% dextrose infusion for cardiogenic shock suggests the syndrome may be caused by a blood volume deficiency relative to the need for distension of the acutely injured heart.
