Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Pyruvate is an intermediate of energy metabolism and was shown to possess pronounced positive inotropic effects in vitro and in vivo without altering myocardial oxygen consumption. Moreover, it was shown that the effects of beta-adrenergic stimulation were potentiated. Thus, it might be possible to save catecholamines in patients with severe heart failure or cardiogenic shock. This study was designed to test the hemodynamic effects of pyruvate administered into a coronary artery in addition to intra-aortic balloon pump counterpulsation in patients with severe heart failure or in patients with acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock after having performed percutaneous coronary intervention. A pronounced improvement in hemodynamics is expected to occur.
