Study Notes

Pharmacology of Cardiovascular Function
Anticoagulant and Antiplatelet Agents treat thrombotic disorders
Thrombosis is formation of an unwanted blood clot in a blood vessel or within the heart
Embolism is when thrombi are dislodged and carried by the circulation to small vessels
Thrombotic disorders can lead to death
Aim of therapy is to inhibit platelet function, inhibit fibrin deposition, or enhance fibrinolysis
Platelets become activated by vascular injury and endothelial defects in vessel walls
Platelet adhesion requires collagen and glycoprotein IV interaction
Platelets gain affinity for fibrinogen and each other
Activated platelets release soluble factors and provide a surface for many critical reactions in the coagulation cascade

Description

Test your knowledge on the pharmacology of cardiovascular function and the use of anticoagulant and antiplatelet agents to treat thrombotic disorders. Learn about the dangers of thrombosis and embolism, and how these disorders can lead to fatal outcomes. Discover the different ways in which therapy can inhibit platelet function, fibrin deposition, or enhance fibrinolysis. Dive into the details of platelet activation, adhesion, and the critical reactions in the coagulation cascade.
