Glucose-insulin-potassium “cocktail” Proposed mechanisms of benefit • Glucose (G)Energy efficiency of the heart—becomes preferred fuel • Insulin (I)Circulating FFA level and uptake—toxic to ischemic myocardium • Potassium (K)Depleted K levels in myocytes—lowers risk of ventricular arrhythmias CREATE-ECLA Trial Group Investigators. JAMA. 2005;293:437-46.

Treatment groups had identical glucose control Results show long-term benefit in DIGAMI 1 is explained by better glucose control and not by GIK Not a glucose control trial Patients randomized irrespective of baseline glucose Mean glucose increased from baseline in GIK group DIGAMI 2 and CREATE-ECLA outcomes show need for glucose control DIGAMI 2 CREATE-ECLA Malmberg K et al.

“Regardless of its scientific rationale and the positive results of small studies, this definitive trial, combined with a previous overview that showed only a modest potential benefit, answers the question beyond reasonable doubt: there is no benefit of GIK therapy.” What CREATE-ECLA shows about GIK Califf RM.
