Pathophysiology of Thrombosis Thrombosis and Thrombolysis in Acute Coronary Syndromes
Blood Components - Platelets • Contain adhesive glycoproteins • GP Ia – binds platelets to collagen fibers • GP Ib - binds platelets to von Willebrand factor • GP IIb/IIIa - binds platelets to von Willebrand factor, and fibrinogen
Blood Components - Prothrombin • Prothrombin is a plasma protein that, when activated by exposure of the blood to tissue factor released from damaged arterial wall tissue, converts to thrombin. • Thrombin in turn converts fibrinogen to fibrin.
Blood Components - Fibrinogen • Fibrinogen is a plasma protein that converts to fibrin, an elastic, threadlike filament, when exposed to thrombin. Fibrinogen + thrombin = Fibrin
Blood Components - Plasminogen • Plasminogen is a plasma glycoprotein that converts to an enzyme – plasmin – when activated by tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) normally present in the endothelium lining the blood vessels. Plasminogen + tPA = Plasmin
Blood Components - Plasmin • Plasmin is an enzyme that dissolves fibrin strands (fibrinolysis) binding the platelets together within a thrombus (clot).
Tissue Components – Von Willebrand Factor • Von Willebrand Factor is a protein stored in cells of the endothelium lining the arteries. When exposed to blood after an injury to the endothelial cells, VWF binds to the platelets GP receptors.
Tissue Components – Collagen Fibers • Collagen fibers are the white protein fibers present within the intima of the arterial wall. After an injury and exposure to blood, the CF bind to the platelets directly (via GP Ia) and indirectly through VWF.
Tissue Components – Tissue Factor • Tissue factor is a substance present in tissue, platelets, and leukocytes that, when released after an injury, iniates the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin. Tissue Factor + Prothrombin = Thrombin
Blood/Tissue Component Review • Tissue Factor + Prothrombin = Thrombin • Fibrinogen + thrombin = Fibrin • Plasminogen + tPA = Plasmin • Plasmin dissolves Fibrin.
Thrombus Formation • Phase 1: Platelet adhesion • Phase 2: Platelet activation • Phase 3: Platelet aggregation • Phase 4: Thrombus Formation
Phases of Thrombolysis • Phase 1: Release of tPA • Phase 2: Plasmin Formation • Phase 3: Fibrinolysis

THROMBOLYTIC PHARMACOLOGY FOR PREHOSPITAL PROVIDERS
STREPTOKINASE • BACTERIAL PROTEIN • FIRST DEVELOPED THROMBOLYTIC • CONVERTS PLASMINOGEN TO PLASMIN
ISIS STUDY • STREPTOKINASE 8.0 % MORTALITY COMPARED TO PLACEEBO AT 13.2 %
ALTEPLASE • PRODUCED BY RECOMBIANT DNA TECHNOLOGY • LOWER MORTALIT RATE WITH TPA VERSUS STREPTOKINASE • STUDIED IN GUSTO 1 TRAILS
HIGHER RISK OF INTRACRANIAL BLEEDING WITH TPA THAN STREPTOKINASE • DOSE- INITIAL BOLUS OF 15 MG IV, THEN 0.75 MG/KG OVER 30 MIN NOT TO EXCEED 50 MG, THEN 0.50 MG/KG OVER 60 MIN PERIOD NOT TO EXCEED 35 MG
RETEPLASE • DNA TECHNOLOGY • STUDIED IN INJECT TRAILS • NO CHANGE ON MORTALITY COMPARED TO STREPTOKINASE OR ALTEPLASE • DOSE- 10 UNITS GIVEN OVER 2 MIN THEN REPEATED AFTER 30 MIN
TENECTEPLASE • THIRD GENERATION VARIANT OF THE t-PA MOLECULE • LESS INCIDENCE OF BLEEDING COMPLICATIONS • MORE AFFINTY FOR FIBRIN • RESISTANCE TO PLASMINOGEN ACTIVATOR INHIBITOR
PHARMACODYNAMICS • TNKASE BINDS TO FIBRIN AND CONVERTS PLASMINOGEN TO PLASMIN • PLASMIN THEN INHIBITS FIBRIN
PHARMACOKINETICS • HALF LIFE OF 20 TO 24 MIN • METABOLIZED BY THE LIVER • EXCRETED BY THE KIDNEYS
INDICATIONS • AMI • ST ELEVATION MI • NEW ONSET LEFT BUNDLE BRANCH BLOCK • ONSET OF SYMPTOMS WITHIN 12 HOURS
