In the most cases of MI plaque rupture followed by thrombus formation at the site is the precipitating event. 3. What is the rationale for using tissue plasminogen activator in the management of ACS? Tissue plasminogen activator if fibrin specific. It binds to the fibrin of fresh clots and the resulting

leading cause is from fatty material buildup within the vessels. This disease slowly inhibits the vessel walls causing them to be blocked‚ narrowed‚ or weakened (WebMD 2010). Other causes could be blood clots which block the blood vessels in the thrombus or emboli. Another is diabetes‚ because diabetes damages the blood vessels and make them become narrowed or weakened. Also inflammation of the arteries narrow and weaken the vessels. Several autoimmune conditions can develop vasculitis‚ and besides

An aneurysm or aneurism (from Greek: ἀνεύρυσμα - aneurusma "dilation"‚ from ἀνευρύνειν - aneurunein "to dilate") is a localized‚ blood-filled balloon-like bulge in the wall of a blood vessel.[1] Aneurysms can commonly occur in arteries at the base of the brain (the circle of Willis) and an aortic aneurysm occurs in the main artery carrying blood from the left ventricle of the heart. When the size of an aneurysm increases‚ there is a significant risk of rupture‚ resulting in severe hemorrhage‚ other

Circulatory System Composition of Blood Red Cells -These are tiny‚ disc-like cells which do not have nuclei. -In their cytoplasm is the haemoglobin‚ a protein combined with iron. Haemoglobin combines with oxygen in places where there is a high concentration of oxygen‚ to form oxyhaemoglobin. -Oxyhagemoglobin is unstable compound. It breaks down and releases its oxygen in places where oxygen contentration is low. White Cells -They undergo a process of matruation and development in the
