NCT00091507

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to test the impact of pharmacological myocardial metabolic support, in the form of intravenous (IV) glucose, insulin and potassium (GIK), for the treatment of patients with threatened or established acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Progression of Acute Coronary Syndrome to Myocardial Infarction

    Outcome for all participants during the first 24 hours of hospitalization; evidence of myocardial infarction is determined by ECG and biomarker results.

    24 hours

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Cardiac Arrest

    1 to 18 hours (From prehospital setting through hospitalization.)

  • Heart Failure or Death

    30 days

  • Mortality

    30 days

  • Cardiac Arrest or Acute Mortality

    Prehospital setting through hospitalization

Study Arms (2)

1 -- GIK

EXPERIMENTAL

GIK = glucose-insulin-potassium; In one-liter: Dextrose 30% + 80 mEq Potassium Chloride + 50 units Regular Insulin; infused at 1.5 ml/kg/hour for a total of 12 hours.

Drug: GIK

2 -- Placebo

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Dextrose 5%, infused at 1.5 ml/kg/hour for total of 12 hours.

Drug: Placebo

Interventions

GIKDRUG

Intravenous solution, 1.5ml/kg/hour, continuous infusion for total of 12 hours.

Also known as: Glucose-Insulin Potassium
1 -- GIK

Intravenous solution of Dextrose 5 percent at 1.5 ml/kg/hour for a total of 12 hours.

Also known as: Dextrose 5%
2 -- Placebo

Eligibility Criteria

Age30 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Symptoms of threatened or established AMI including but not limited to:
  • Chest pain, discomfort, or tightness
  • Arm or shoulder pain
  • Jaw pain
  • Epigastric discomfort
  • Shortness of breath
  • lead electrocardiogram (ECG) with two or more contiguous leads with ST elevation greater than 1 mm, ST depression greater than 0.5 mm, T wave inversion or other T wave abnormalities (hyperacute T waves), or left bundle branch block (not known to be old). Identification aided by the acute cardiac ischemia time-insensitive predictive instrument (ACI-TIPI)and thrombolytic predictive instrument (TPI) decision support software (ACI-TIPI \>= 75% and TPI detection of suspected STEMI).

You may not qualify if:

  • End-stage kidney failure requiring dialysis
  • Rales present more than halfway up the back
  • Unable to comply with the requirements of the study
  • Incarcerated
  • Known to be pregnant
