May support adjunctive metabolic interventions in acute ischemia; extends substrate data but leaves open randomized confirmation before practice change.
Does metabolic and nutritional support improve recovery in patients with acute cardiac failure?
Early metabolic and nutritional interventions, including glucose-insulin-potassium and antioxidants, may improve myocardial recovery and prevent deterioration in acute cardiac failure.
Berger et al. (2003) conducted a review in Acute cardiac failure. Metabolic and nutritional support was evaluated. Early metabolic and nutritional support, including glucose-insulin-potassium and antioxidants, can improve recovery of the ischaemic heart and reduce the deleterious consequences of acute ischaemia.
