Why heparin is used as an anticoagulant in the treatment of thrombotic stroke?
Heparin is used as an anticoagulant in the treatment of thrombotic stroke because it effectively inhibits the coagulation cascade, reducing the formation of blood clots. By enhancing the activity of antithrombin III, heparin prevents the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin, thus helping to maintain blood flow in occluded vessels. This is crucial in the acute management of thrombotic strokes, where timely intervention can minimize brain damage and improve patient outcomes. Additionally, heparin has a rapid onset of action, making it suitable for emergency settings.
