Abstract
In patients with ST-elevation MI treated with primary PCI, addition of GIK is associated with improved ST-segment elevation resolution. ST-segment elevation resolution is related to improved 1-year survival. No benefit of GIK on 1-year outcome was observed. Future trials should investigate whether GIK-induced improvement of ST-segment elevation resolution results in more favorable clinical outcome.
