- Abstract
This article presents information on a study related to effect of glucose-insulin-potassium infusion on mortality in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. In patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI), an infusion of glucose-insulin-potassium in addition to usual care did not reduce mortality, cardiac arrest, or cardiogenic shock. In the first GUSTO trial, no benefit was seen from intravenous heparin compared with subcutaneous unfractionated heparin in patients receiving streptokinase for ST-elevation MI.
