Rheological and clotting changes in the immediate post-myocardial infarction period. 1981

Several coagulative, fibrinolytic, and rheologic indices were studied in a large group of patients with acute myocardial infarction. The results were compared with those obtained in a normal control group. Changes of blood and plasma viscosity, fibrinogen, and fibrinolytic activity, compatible with a hypercoagulable state, were found in the immediate post-infarction period. However, elevated AT III levels as compared to control group were observed. This could be interpreted as a reactive response to the hypercoagulable state. Significant correlations could be observed between blood viscosity and Ht, plasma viscosity and fibrinogen, fibrinogen and fibrinolytic levels and between fibrinogen and ESR.

D010958 Plasminogen Precursor of plasmin (FIBRINOLYSIN). It is a single-chain beta-globulin of molecular weight 80-90,000 found mostly in association with fibrinogen in plasma; plasminogen activators change it to fibrinolysin. It is used in wound debriding and has been investigated as a thrombolytic agent.

D001809 Blood Viscosity The internal resistance of the BLOOD to shear forces. The in vitro measure of whole blood viscosity is of limited clinical utility because it bears little relationship to the actual viscosity within the circulation, but an increase in the viscosity of circulating blood can contribute to morbidity in patients suffering from disorders such as SICKLE CELL ANEMIA and POLYCYTHEMIA.

D005340 Fibrinogen Plasma glycoprotein clotted by thrombin, composed of a dimer of three non-identical pairs of polypeptide chains (alpha, beta, gamma) held together by disulfide bonds. Fibrinogen clotting is a sol-gel change involving complex molecular arrangements: whereas fibrinogen is cleaved by thrombin to form polypeptides A and B, the proteolytic action of other enzymes yields different fibrinogen degradation products.

D005342 Fibrinolysis The natural enzymatic dissolution of FIBRIN. Fibrinolyses
D006400 Hematocrit The volume of packed RED BLOOD CELLS in a blood specimen. The volume is measured by centrifugation in a tube with graduated markings, or with automated blood cell counters. It is an indicator of erythrocyte status in disease. For example, ANEMIA shows a low value; POLYCYTHEMIA, a high value.
