how can you say that Heart attack is prevented by heparin?

Dear student.

One of the main reason of heart attack is the formation of clotting of blood, which prevents the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the heart.  Heparin is an anticoagulant that helps prevents clotting of blood and thus further loss of blood is avoided. This way heparin helps in the restoring the flow of blood quickly to the heart and an attack is avoided.

Heparin prevents the formation and growth of blood clots by inhibiting the action of clotting factors that cement the clumps of platelets together. Heparin is given either intravenously or as a subcutaneous (under the skin) injection.
