What is the medical term meaning treatment to dissolve blood clots in a blocked coronary vessel?
When the clot is life threatening, doctors may use drugs called thrombolytics that quickly break up (dissolve) clots. These treatments are given in an emergency room or hospital. Because thrombolytics can cause sudden bleeding, they're used only in life-threatening situations.Some examples of thrombolytic drugs are:- tissue plasminogen activator- streptokinase- urokinaseThrombolysis is the medical term meaning the use of drugs to dissolve blood clots (thrombolytics).
What is a phosphor activator?
Activators initiate, improve, maintain the luminescence of phosphors.,
What are the benefits of taking Cell Activator?
Cell Activator is intended to be used with Total Control fat-burning tablets, protein shake mix, and vitamin and mineral pills. It is said to help you to absorb vitamins as you burn fat.
What is the name given the place where law is administered?
The place where law is administered is COURT.

Streptokinase and tissue-type plasminogen activator are used for:
What is Streptokinase and tissue-type plasminogen activator are used for?
Streptokinase and tissue-type plasminogen activator are used for:
What Is administered a few hours after a heart attack or stroke to dissolve the damaging blood clots?
Tissue Plasminogen Activator
What is the duration of action of tissue plasminogen activator?
15 minutes.
What is the treatments of stroke?
aspirin or a machine called tissue plasminogen activator.
What enzyme breaks up a blood clot in the heart?
Tissue plasminogen activator.
Which substance binds strongly to fibrin and dissolves clots that have caused heart attacks?
Tissue plasminogen activator
What is the difference between the mechanisms of action of streptokinase and tissue plasminogen activator in treating thrombosis?
Both are thrombolyltic drugs. Streptokinase binds to the active complex. It promotes the cleavage of the Arg/Val bond of plasminogen leading to the formation of plasmin. The plasmin then breaks down the matrix of the thrombus. A tissue plasminogen activator is alteplase. It binds to fibrin-rich clots and cleaves the Arg/Val bond of plasminogen to produce plasmin. The plasmin then breaks down the matrix of the thrombus.
What is alteplase?
Alteplase is the trade name for recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (r-tPA), a medication given to certain patients with ischemic stroke, pulmonary embolus, or myocardial infarction.
What has the author Charla K Triplett written?
Charla K. Triplett has written: 'A model system to study the effects of methylglyoxal on the yield and quality of tissue plasminogen activator produced by CHO cells' -- subject(s): Glyoxalase, Microbial toxins
What causes a blood clot to break up?
In the body's natural systems, tissue plasminogen activator or tPA attaches itself to the clot and breaks it down by plasmin fibrinolysis. This is done artificially (thrombolysis) using drugs such as streptokinase, urokinase, or recombinant tPA formulations.
