[Partial parenteral nutrition in acute myocardial infarction (author's transl)].
The influence of partial parenteral nutrition (PPN) was compared with the effect of a calorie-free solution in 2 groups of patients (n = 10) with acute myocardial infarction. Both groups received the same daily diet of 800 to 1000 Cal. The control group was given, in addition, a calorie-free electrolyte solution and the PPN group was given a nutritious solution consisting of 1000 Cal carbohydrate and 26.5 g 1-amino acids daily by means of a subclavian catheter. The exact monitoring of the water balance indicated that patients with acute myocardial infarction can safely be given parenteral nutrition. Neither haemodynamic nor metabolic complications occurred in the group with PPN due to the small infusion volume and the continuous administration of the infusion volume and the continuous administration of the infusion. The control group was in negative nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus balance in comparison with the PPN group. This demonstrates that a hypocaloric diet is insufficient in the acute phase of myocardial infarction and causes catabolism, which can be prevented by PPN. Stimulation of healing of the myocardial infarct can be expected through the improvement of protein metabolism by PPN.
