Abstract:
The plasminogen-plasmin enzyme system and its therapeutic manipulation provide the substrate for an assessment of the clinical use of thrombolytic agents. Proven effective in acute MI and its complications, such agents have other potential applications--e.g., in stroke or pulmonary embolism--and are being investigated in those contexts.
