BACKGROUND: Low-dose dobutamine stress echocardiography (LDDSE) is one of the methods most used to assess myocardial viability. Glucose-insulin-potassium (GIK) infusion has been shown to increase contraction of the ischemic zone. The aim of this study was to compare LDDSE and echocardiography during GIK infusion for detection of myocardial viability. METHODS: Thirty-two patients who had first anterior myocardial infarction (MI) without previous MI were included in the study. Echocardiographic evaluation was carried out on the 7th +/- 2 days after MI. During continuous electrocardiographic, blood pressure and echocardiographic monitoring, an intravenous infusion of dobutamine (3 microg/kg body weight/min) was started with an infusion pump, continued for 5 min and then increased to 5 microg/kg/min and 10 microg/kg/min for another 5 min. The GIK protocol consisted of a fixed dose of insulin (100 microU/kg/h intravenously) and a variable glucose/potassium infusion rate. GIK echocardiography was done at baseline and after 60 min of GIK. The detected viable myocardium was defined as one or two scores decreasing in at least two adjacent abnormal segments during LDDSE and GIK echocardiography. RESULTS: Under resting conditions 225 segments (44%) were normokinetic, 21 segments (4%) dyskinetic, 117 segments (23%) akinetic and 149 segments (29%) hypokinetic. Viability was detected in 20% (57 segments) of the asynergic segments at baseline with GIK echocardiography and in 22% (62 segments) of those segments with LDDSE (P < 0.05). Left ventricular wall motion score index at baseline was 1.87 and it decreased significantly indicating improvement in left ventricular systolic function during both LDDSE and GIK echocardiography (P < 0.001, versus 1.75 and 1.76 respectively). The agreement between LDDSE and GIK echocardiography for detection of myocardial viability was 96%. CONCLUSION: We have shown that GIK echocardiography is similar to LDDSE for detection of myocardial viability. With the support of further clinical studies GIK echocardiography could be used to detect myocardial viability after acute MI. |
