Heparin Indications

There are numerous indications for heparin, seen as the hippie-heron with indications, which is an anticoagulation agent which works to inhibit factors IIa and Xa. Heparin is indicated for immediate anticoagulation of non-ST elevation myocardial infarctions in acute coronary syndrome, the acute-angle heart. It is also used for prophylaxis, the purple-axes, especially in patients who are hypercoagulable, immobile or at increased risk of complications. This medication helps prevent thrombus expansion in pulmonary embolism, the lungs elmo, and to prevent clot formation in patients with atrial fibrillation, the atria-heart alarm-clock. As heparin does not cross the placenta, it is a preferred anticoagulant to be used during pregnancy, represented by the pregnant-woman. So lets recap, heparin is an anticoagulant indicated for use in acute coronary syndrome, patients requiring prophylaxis from hypercoagulation, pulmonary embolism, a-fib, and pregnant patients.

When you hear what Hippie-heron found inside congress, it&rsquo;ll totally blow your mind. &nbsp;Somebody stabbed the heart of democracy. &nbsp;With an acute-angle, man. &nbsp;So hippie-heron skipped the peace talks in favor of purple-axes. &nbsp;They got both parties attention, real quick. &nbsp;The lungs and Elmo stopped arguing over the pregnant-woman, and listened for a change. &nbsp;The atria-heart alarm-clock professed its love before the people&rsquo;s reps and they were totally swayed. &nbsp;Guess it&rsquo;s true what they say. &nbsp;All you need is love, man. So recall; hippie-heron stands up for the heart stabbed by an acute-angle by throwing purple-axes. &nbsp;They get the attention of the lungs and elmo, who stop arguing over what to do with the pregnant-woman and her atria-heart alarm-clock lover.
