Heparin . . . The forgotten hero in myocardial infarction

[OverdrivePacing]

Isnt heparin (or LMH) bolus followed by iv infusion part of the initial treatment of STEMIs along with aspirin ,clopidogrel or prasugrel,opioids and thrombolysis (if within 3 hours of pain onset) or Primary PCI ? You make it sound as if it is some "extra" treatment.And streptokinase ..? wow ,almost like in 1993...

PT should not just be sent home after heparin treatment...there was a cause (not explored?) for the severe chest pain! Heparin has its place, but its uses are limited! The sinus rhythm was not normal...

im glad there was no "LV" disfunction as it was an inferior, or right sided MI, ST elevation in L2, L3, AVF = Right side.I am sure that was a typo.great vid.

hey people, aren´t you all forgeting anything?

What happened next?

where is the patient? did the medical crew do anything to prevent another infarct?

like.. Physiotherapy? or any kind of exercise?

[Crishaana]

why not streptokinase ?

[faegrrrl]

At 2:20 there is still not a normal sinus rhythm!

You can not tell me that Heparin should be the only thing used on this PT. It's a great drug for MI's but should not be the only thing used.

That PT should have been taken straight to the cath lab and and a thorough procedure done.

there has to be a study done to prove without a shadow of doubt that heparin is really the forgotten her
