Article Synopsis
- The study examined the effects of glucose-insulin-potassium (GIK) infusion on patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction compared to standard thrombolytic therapy alone.
- At 1 month, the GIK group experienced significantly fewer major adverse cardiac events (10% vs 32.5%) and reduced occurrences of serious arrhythmias and severe heart failure.
- Additionally, improvements in heart function were noted in the GIK group after 1 year, highlighting its potential benefits in managing acute myocardial infarctions.
