Abstract
The properties of heparin, a key anticoagulant, are reviewed. The important issues in heparinotherapy, i.e., reaching quick anticoagulant effect, maintaining therapeutic level of anticoagulation, heparin inhibition and non-invasive heparin formulations have been reviewed and discussed, with the focus on the role of polymeric substances in the proposed solutions.
Keywords: Heparin, anticoagulation, unfractionated heparin, low molecular weight heparin, heparin reversal, noninvasive delivery, heparinotherapy, heparin inhibition, polymeric substances, glycosaminoglycans (GAGs)
