Abstract

Myocardial infarction currently remains one of the leading causes of death and hospitalization. The most common pathogenetic mechanism for the development of acute myocardial infarction is the formation of a thrombus in the arterial lumen due to atherosclerotic plaque rupture. Whether it is going to be total or partial occlusion of the coronary artery depends on the balance between coagulation, anticoagulation and fibrinolytic systems. In patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction full or partial spontaneous restoration of blood flow of the infarct-related artery may occur without thrombolysis or primary coronary intervention. The spontaneous restoration of blood flow in the infarct-related artery improves both the short-term and long-term prognoses of patients with acute myocardial infarction. The process of spontaneous restoration of blood flow in the infarctrelated artery is associated primary with increased activation of the endogenous fibrinolytic system. We present a review of the literature data on the main mechanisms of spontaneous fibrinolysis, role of hemostatic system, endothelial function, as well as its effect on the long-term prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction.
