Inclusion criteria

Admission for primary PCI for STEMI, with enrollment within 12 hours of onset of symptoms. STEMI will be defined as typical ECG changes (ST segment elevation ≥1mm in 2 or more limb leads, or ≥2mm in 2 or more precordial leads, or new onset LBBB) associated with acute chest pain or an elevation of cardiac enzymes.
Antegrade TIMI 0 or 1 prior to PCI in the infarct-related artery
Age ≥18 years

Exclusion criteria

Symptomatic hypoglycemia (serum glucose <3.3 µmol/L; 60 mg/dl)
Diabetes mellitus requiring insulin therapy
Diabetic ketoacidosis
Coronary anatomy warranting emergent coronary artery bypass graft surgery
Mechanical complication of STEMI (ventricular septal rupture, free wall rupture, acute severe mitral regurgitation)
Need for hemodialysis
Malignancy, HIV, or central nervous system disorder
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation >15 min and compromised level of consciousness.
Cardiogenic shock
Current participation in any research study involving investigational drugs or devices
Inability to give informed consent
Inability to safely undergo cMRI (presence of cardiac pacemaker, implanted cardiac defibrillator, aneurysm clips, carotid artery vascular clamp, neurostimulator, implanted drug infusion device, bone growth/fusion stimulator, cochlear, otologic, or ear implant, severe claustrophobia)
Women of childbearing potential who are known to be pregnant or lactating or who have a positive pregnancy test on admission
History of pancreatitis
Known end stage renal failure or known eGFR <30 mL/min
Currently taking exenatide (Byetta, Bydureon), liraglutide (Victoza), or any other GLP-1 agonist
