Anticoagulants, commonly referred to as blood thinners, are drugs that prevent or reduce coagulation of blood, prolonging the clotting time. Antiplatelet drugs, also known as a platelet aggregation inhibitors, decrease platelet aggregation and inhibit clot formation. These drugs play an important role in the treatment of various disorders such as myocardial infarction, thrombotic stroke and venous thromboembolism. This pharmacology lecture covers topics such as pathophysiology of blood clot formation and platelet function; activation, aggregation, cross-linking; ADP receptors, glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptors, cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) enzyme, fibrinogen, fibrin mesh, coagulation cascade; intrinsic & extrinsic pathways, clotting factors, antithrombin, heparin induced thrombocytopenia, INR, plasmin, and plasminogen; mechanism of action of platelet inhibitors, anticoagulants, thrombolytic agents, and drugs used for treatment of bleeding. Drugs mentioned include; Aspirin, Clopidogrel, Ticagrelor, Ticlopidine, Prasugrel, Abciximab, Eptifibatide, Tirofiban, Heparin, low molecular weight heparins; Enoxaparin, Dalteparin, Protamine sulfate, Apixaban, Rivaroxaban, Univalent & Bivalent direct thrombin inhibitors; Argatroban, Dabigatran, Bivalirudin, Desirudin, Warfarin, Vitamin K, Alteplase, Reteplase, Tenecteplase, Urokinase, Streptokinase, Aminocaproic acid, Tranexamic acid.

It's nice to have a diagram of the cascade and then interject each drug class where it acts. Thank you! This is how all topics should be taught by all teachers!

Please keep making those videos, it was organized, simple, and really straightforward. You just save my 5-hour listening to recording lectures. Thank you so much

Coagulation cascade are the ones I found hardest at med school and it was a pain to revise when comes to finals then I forget about it. Now I'm preparing for core training exams and actually find this video more helpful than ever. I never understood this topic any clearer (I guess with more clinical experience it also helps to understand bit more). Thanks so much for making this video.

Update: an antidote for apixaban and rivaroxaban is now available: Andexanet alfa. Came out in 2018, one year after this video was uploaded.
