Stasis of flow C due to immobility normally venous e.g

Rationale for anti platelet drugs
Critical role for platelets in formation of arterial thrombi
blood flows quicker at 4 pressure
Damaged endothelium activates platelets which respond
by adhering to endo and aggregating
Release of thromboxance AZ and ADP amplifies this process
Thrombin production via the coagulation cascade is also
accelerated with thrombus stabalised by conversion of fibrinogen
to fibrin
, Different drugs interfere with this process at diff points
Anti platelet agents
1 Cyclo
oxygenase inhibitors aspirin
2 A DP receptor pathway inhibitors clopidogrel
3 Phosphodiesterase inhibitors C Di pyrida mole
4 Glycoprotein 11 B1111 A membrane receptor antagonists
Antiplatelet d platelet aggregation and thrombus
