Figure 1 Kaplan-Meier curve showing cumulative survival of patients randomized to glucose-insulin-potassium (GIK) group or control group. Differences between the groups were nonsignificant (unadjusted p = 0.50). The p value was determined with the use of the log-rank test. Solid line = GIK group; dotted line = control group.

Figure 2 Kaplan-Meier curve showing cumulative survival of Killip 1 class patients randomized to glucose-insulin-potassium (GIK) group or control group. Differences between the groups were significant (unadjusted p = 0.01). P value was determined with the use of the log-rank test. Solid line = GIK group; dotted line = control group.
