Thrombus

vasodilation of coronary arteries to increase the blood flow. Their principle benefit follows from a reduction in venous return which reduces the left ventricular work. Aspirin as an antiplatelet drug decrease platelet aggregation and may inhibit further thrombus formation in arterial circulation, including the coronary vessels. Administration of aspirin will prevent John from recurrent…

Edoxaban is a selective inhibitor of factor Xa, which inhibits prothrombinase activity to result in prevention of the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin, inhibition of subsequent thrombin-induced platelet aggregation, and suppression of resultant thrombus formation. Pharmacokinetics: Edoxaban has a half-life of 10 to 14 hours, a time to peak of 1 to 2 hours, a mean absolute bioavailability of 62%, and a volume of distribution of 107 liters. It undergoes moderate protein binding…

Patient’s medical history of hypertension is one of the most important risk factors of acute Myocardial infarction as the constantly high blood…
