INS and myocardial infarction: However, there are few differences from previous studies as different insulin loads applied (4.16 mIU/kg.min in acute MI [12], 1 mIU/kg.min in healthy men [17], and 41.6 mIU/min regardless of body weight in acute MI [14]) and a different time course of the insulin treatment, as short as 48 hrs [12, 14], three days [15], and one month period [11] vs the shortest two-hour time reported in our study.
