KROK 1 2019 – Question 88 · KROK (Medicine) · Biological Chemistry
A patient with myocardial infarction in the acute phase has been hospitalized into the cardiology unit. To induce platelet lysis in the patient’s coronary vessels during the early hours of infarction, the following enzyme should be used:
- A. Streptokinase
- B. Chymotrypsin
- C. Hyaluronidase
- D. Trypsin
- E. Lysozyme
Hint
Think about the aim of treatment in the first hours of infarction (reopening the occluded artery) and which enzyme can act on a thrombus from inside the bloodstream.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
