Course Description
Overview
Explore the mechanisms of fibrinolysis in this informative 14-minute video lecture focusing on plasminogen and plasmin. Delve into the role of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) in converting plasminogen to plasmin, and understand how plasmin dissolves fibrin clots into degradation products. Learn about thrombolytic therapy, its applications in treating myocardial infarction and ischemic strokes, and its contraindications in hemorrhagic strokes. Discover the absolute and relative contraindications to fibrinolytic therapy, including various thrombolytic agents such as tPA, alteplase, and streptokinase. Gain valuable insights into this crucial aspect of hematology and its clinical implications in cardiovascular and neurological emergencies.
