Heparinization is a basic principle of medicine that involves taking heparin (a substance that thins the blood) to reduce the risk of blood clots. This principle is widely used in medicine to treat diseases such as myocardial infarction, stroke, thromboembolism and other cardiovascular complications.

When taken, heparin begins to act only after 3-4 hours and remains active in human blood for 8-12 hours. It is important to note that heparin is not a universal drug; it can only be taken if indicated and under the supervision of a medical specialist.
What is the danger of thrombosis Thrombosis is a blockage of the venous vessels of the body with blood elements that peel off from the walls of the vessels and thicken due to disruption of their vital functions or coagulation. In the process, thrombosis can cause widespread disturbances in the cardiovascular system. When it develops, symptoms such as chest pain, swelling of the extremities, nausea, and even increased body temperature may appear.
One of the most common types of thrombosis is thrombosis of the pulmonary artery, which supplies blood to the lungs. This dangerous condition is called pulmonary embolism. Pulmonary
