Difference between Embolism and Heparin

Embolism vs. Heparin

An embolism is the lodging of an embolus, a blockage-causing piece of material, inside a blood vessel. Heparin, also known as unfractionated heparin (UFH), is medication which is used as an anticoagulant (blood thinner).

Similarities between Embolism and Heparin

Embolism and Heparin have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Arterial embolism, Atrial fibrillation, Cancer, Circulatory system, Deep vein thrombosis, Disease, Myocardial infarction, Pulmonary embolism.

Arterial embolism

Arterial embolism is a sudden interruption of blood flow to an organ or body part due to an embolus adhering to the wall of an artery blocking the flow of blood, the major type of embolus being a blood clot (thromboembolism).
