Life and Death of Alteplase in Thrombolysis? So to life
I read in two separate articles on stroke that thrombolysis techniques were based on heart work. No details so nothing on clot stroke availability, with clot stroke areas growing from m.m^3 to Cm^2 with greatly increased disability. So how was the heart work transferred to stroke units?
But first I will describe how the heart system works. In a critical care cardiac ward, an old male patient sat up with a look of pain on his drooping face; his wife sat nearby. The treating cardiologist entered and quickly assessed the situation. He began talking slowly, as much to settle his own thinking as to inform his patients. ‘’It’s a long time till tomorrow’s session’’... Pause,’’ ‘’but I could do a thrombolysis on the clot which is blocking your artery, It will get your blood moving again’’. ‘’There will be blood leakage and specks of blood will squirt to your brain’’. So it was done.
So before any sceptics reach for search engines to show that an old blogger (me) could not be the source of so much information, let me help. Look up TV/’’ L medical emergency’’ G-1-2018. You may have noticed that I squibbed on the question of how the heart knowledge was transferred to the stroke units.
Simple
The giver. Secure in work and knowledge. A sharer.
The taker: A searcher for knowledge keen to adapt new things and techniques to greater use.
Oh and we can be sure that Alteplase was the solvent that came across from heart to stroke.
Note: Medishare 18-7-2012 Thrombolysised with Alteplase uncomplicated, thank goodness!
Hang on, I have not answered the question. We can exclude the heart specialists from candidates, despite the current example, because surgery is the main therapy for hearts. I could be wrong but I’m sticking to this position.
Not so with stroke treatment which is such a vast field of views that I am delighted to treat it in detail soon. In the meantime do not confuse medical treatment with exercise routines.
