Study objectivesTreatment with Glucose-Insulin-Potassium (GIK) infusion during the acute phase of myocardial infarction has been proposed as therapeutic intervention for protection of the ischaemic myocardium.

Current evidence suggests an effect in patients with acute myocardial infarction without signs of heart failure at admission treated with reperfusion therapy (i.e. primary coronary angioplasty). There is also evidence for the treatment with insulin-glucose infusion in combination with strict metabolic control for at least three months thereafter for patients with type two diabetes mellitus (i.e. a history of diabetes mellitus, previously treated with oral hypoglycaemic agents or blood glucose level at admission greater than or equal to 11.1 mmol/l) and acute myocardial infarction.

Recently, it has been shown that obtaining and maintaining normoglycaemia (i.e. plasma-glucose concentrations of 4.4 and 6.1 mmol/l) in patients admitted to a Surgical Intensive Care Unit will lead to a marked reduction in morbidity and mortality.

This study will address what the effects will be of metabolic intervention with or without the infusion of GIK on 30-day and one-year mortality in patients eligible for reperfusion therapy (i.e. primary coronary angioplasty or thrombolysis).
Ethics approval(s)Approval received from the local ethics committee (Medisch Ethische Toetsings Commissie) on the 2nd May 2003 (ref: 02.1280).
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedAcute myocardial infarction
InterventionAn infusion of 80 mmol potassium chloride in 500 ml 20% glucose with a rate of 2 ml/kilogram body weight/hour over an 12 hour period in a peripheral venous line. The infusion is started as soon as possible after admission to the hospital after determination of blood-glucose level in combination with reperfusion therapy. A continuous infusion of short-acting insulin (50 units Actrapid HM [Novo Nordisk, Copenhagen, Denmark] in 49.5 ml of 0.9 percent sodium chloride) with the use of a perfusor-pump will also be started.
Blood-glucose levels will be measured hourly. Baseline insulin infusion dose and adjustments of insulin dose will be based on a nomogram to obtain and maintain blood-glucose levels of 6.0 to 10.0 mmol/l.

The insulin infusion will be stopped one hour prior to the discontinuation of the glucose-potassium infusion. After the Glucose-Potassium (GK) infusion is stopped insulin may be continued based on glucose measurements according to conventional care or until the infusion rate is less than 1 IU/hour.
