The effect of glucose–insulin–potassium treatment on myocardial oxidative stress in patients with acute coronary syndromes undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention

Abstract

In patients with ACSs, reactive local enzyme activity increases for the scavenging to myocardial-free radicals during PCI. Administration of a solution of GIK as a metabolic support agent might prevent oxidative stress in the myocardial level, in these patients.
