2. Streptokinase - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streptokinase

   Streptokinase is a thrombolytic medication activating plasminogen by nonenzymatic mechanism. [1] As a medication it is used to break down clots in some cases of myocardial infarction (heart attack), pulmonary embolism, and arterial thromboembolism. [2] The type of heart attack it is used in is an ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). [3]

3. Management of acute coronary syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Management_of_acute...

   Patients with acute coronary syndrome and ST elevation are said to have ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and they tend to have one of their coronary arteries totally blocked. [3] Damage is reversible for approximately 20 [ 4 ] -30 [ 5 ] minutes after complete obstruction of blood flow; thereafter myocardial cell death ensues and ...

4. Reperfusion therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reperfusion_therapy

   Reperfusion therapy is a medical treatment to restore blood flow, either through or around, blocked arteries, typically after a heart attack (myocardial infarction (MI)). Reperfusion therapy includes drugs and surgery. The drugs are thrombolytics and fibrinolytics used in a process called thrombolysis.

5. Thrombolysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombolysis

   Thrombolysis, also called fibrinolytic therapy, is the breakdown of blood clots formed in blood vessels, using medication. It is used in ST elevation myocardial infarction, stroke, and in cases of severe venous thromboembolism (massive pulmonary embolism or extensive deep vein thrombosis). [citation needed]

6. Myocardial infarction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myocardial_infarction

   People who have a non-ST elevation myocardial infarction are often managed with the blood thinner heparin, with the additional use of PCI in those at high risk. [9] In people with blockages of multiple coronary arteries and diabetes, coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) may be recommended rather than angioplasty . [ 17 ]

7. Eptifibatide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eptifibatide

   Eptifibatide is used to reduce the risk of acute cardiac ischemic events (death and/or myocardial infarction) in patients with unstable angina or non-ST-segment-elevation (e.g., non-Q-wave) myocardial infarction (i.e., non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes) both in patients who are to receive non surgery (conservative) medical treatment and those undergoing percutaneous coronary ...

8. Alteplase - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alteplase

   Alteplase, sold under the brand name Activase among others, is a biosynthetic form of human tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA). It is a thrombolytic medication used to treat acute ischemic stroke, acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (a type of heart attack), pulmonary embolism associated with low blood pressure, and blocked central venous catheter. [5]

9. ST elevation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ST_elevation

   12-lead electrocardiogram showing ST-segment elevation (orange) in I, aVL and V1–V5 with reciprocal changes (blue) in the inferior leads, indicative of an anterior wall myocardial infarction. When there is a blockage of the coronary artery , there will be lack of oxygen supply to all three layers of cardiac muscle (transmural ischemia).
