Fibrinolytic Agents for Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome
Keywords:
fibrinolytic agents, acute coronary syndrome, ACSAbstract
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) cause by plaque rupture or plaque erosion in the coronary arteries. This stimulates the formation of blood clots in the area of rupture or tearing.causing a blockage of the coronary arteries. This can eventually lead to myocardial ischemia and myocardial infarction. Currently, coronary artery opening is performed by using a primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to dilate the blood vessel with a balloon and inserting a stent immediately to open the way for blood to flow as quickly as possible. It is classified as an effective treatment and should be the first line of treatment in patients with acute coronary artery disease ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) within 2 hours. The use of fibrinolytic agents to dissolve blood clots in the area of the blockage is considered an important therapeutic breakthrough, especially true in medical facilities where it is not possible to refer patients for cardiac catheterization within 2 hours. to reduce the risk of death. However, due to the fibrinolytic agents may cause serious side effects such as bleeding.hypotension and allergic response, the contraindications and precautions should be evaluated before each use of the drug. After receiving thrombolytic drugs, the patient should be referred for cardiac catheterization and definited treatment.
