in acute reduction of blood supply of a small portion of the heart. Blood platelets stick to tears in the plaque and form a blood clot that blocks blood from flowing to the heart . Approximately 90% of myocardial infarctions result from an acute thrombus that obstructs an atherosclerotic coronary artery. Without blood supply the living tissues in the heart muscle die. This is the leading cause of death in the U.S. There are complications such as myocardial ischemia or heart failure might develop

elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) was considered only after a "cooling-off" period. This negative attitude was in part justified by the lack of effective antithrombotic adjunctive therapies and devices in the management of lesion containing thrombus and the subsequent early hazard of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The delay—many days or weeks after hospital admission—to interventional treatment could result in an apparent stabilization of the acute coronary syndrome (ACS) with a high

Body fluids are maintained at a constant level by several homeostatic mechanisms: Osmosis- is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane known as a plasma membrane. Water is highly polar it is repelled by the lipid core (nonpolar) of the plasma membrane but can easily pass through the aquaporins created by the proteins in the membrane‚ so osmosis is happening all the time as water moves into and out of cells. Diffusion- Is where ions move away from an area where they are

According to Rodak’s (2016)‚ Platelets‚ which are also known as thrombocytes‚ initiate the vessel wall repair when damaged to keep the integrity of blood vessel and regulate the hemostasis. Platelets are round or oval‚ no nucleus‚ and small in size ‚ ranging from 2 to 4 μm in dimater. They are vital to life and are studied for their significance physiology. Consequent to vessel injury‚ platelets are activated to form plug at the site of injury to prevent blood loss. Vessel injury exposes the subendothelial
