The mechanism of action of sodium heparin

Heparin sodium is an important anticoagulant drug, whose main functions include: 1. Anticoagulation: Heparin sodium inhibits thrombin and activated coagulation factors, thereby preventing the coagulation process in the blood. It is widely used in surgeries, vascular interventional treatments, deep vein thrombosis, and other situations to effectively prevent and treat thrombus formation. 2. Prevention of thrombosis: The anticoagulant effect of heparin sodium can prevent various thromboembolic diseases, such as deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and postoperative thrombosis following heart valve replacement, thus helping ensure patient safety. 3. Treatment of heart disease: In certain patients with heart disease, heparin sodium can be used to prevent coronary artery thrombosis and reduce the risk of myocardial infarction.
