"The Glucose-Insulin-Potassium in ACS (IMMEDIATE) Revisited"

There are a few folks persistently enamored with the use of glucose-insulin-potassium cocktails in the setting of acute coronary syndrome.

At the time, I boggled that such a small, underpowered study – and one that changed their enrollment target and primary endpoint during the trial – would ultimately be accepted into JAMA. It was also subsequently picked up and promoted by ACEPNow as a "promising therapy" that "slashes death risk" (Tweet still visible, site content since deleted)....
