Description:
Heparin is an important medication used in the treatment of myocardial infarction (MI) to prevent further clot formation. It works by enhancing the activity of antithrombin, which blocks clotting factors and reduces the risk of new or expanding clots in the coronary arteries. In MI, it is often given together with aspirin and other therapies, and it is especially important when patients are undergoing PCI or receiving thrombolytics. Heparin lowers the risk of re-occlusion after the artery is opened, but it carries a risk of bleeding and requires monitoring for complications such as heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. Overall, it is a key supportive therapy in the acute management of heart attacks.
