Abstract

Coronary artery disease remains one of the main reason for hospitalization and death all over the world. The main pathogenic variant of acute myocardial infarction is destabilization of atherosclerotic plaque with subsequent intravascular thrombosis. Whether complete or partial occlusion of the coronary artery is formed depends not only on the activation of the coagulation system, but also on the anticoagulation and fibrinolytic systems. As it was shown previously in 15.7% of cases of total occlusion of infarct-related artery the restoration of blood flow occurs spontaneously. The exact mechanism of spontaneous reperfusion is still poorly investigated. The endothelial function and the activation of the fibrinolytic system play an extremely important role in this process. In this review we present our own and literature data on the mechanism and role of fibrinolytic system activation in patients with coronary artery disease.
