Key result
Glucose-insulin-potassium infusion improved regional myocardial perfusion and function, showing end-diastolic count improvement in 21 segments versus 4 segments with saline.
Why the study?
Does a 24-hour infusion of glucose-insulin-potassium improve regional myocardial perfusion and function in male patients with a recent uncomplicated acute myocardial infarction?
Does a 24-hour infusion of glucose-insulin-potassium improve regional myocardial perfusion and function in male patients with a recent uncomplicated acute myocardial infarction?
A 24-hour infusion of glucose-insulin-potassium improves regional myocardial perfusion and function, particularly in segments adjacent to the infarcted area, in patients with a recent uncomplicated myocardial infarction.

May support GIK for regional post-MI perfusion; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation before practice change.
Marano et al. (2000) studied acute myocardial infarction (n=21). Glucose-insulin-potassium (GIK) infusion vs. Saline solution was evaluated on Regional myocardial perfusion and function. Glucose-insulin-potassium infusion improved regional myocardial perfusion and function, showing end-diastolic count improvement in 21 segments versus 4 segments with saline.
