La literatura existente sobre el uso de la heparina en el tratamiento del estado del mal asmático, resulta contradictoria y no esclarece el problema. Al respecto se realizó una revisión bibliográfica en busca de puntos de contacto entre la fisiopatología del estado de mal asmático y la farmacología de la heparina, que permitiera explicar la eficacia que se le atribuye a este medicamento, muy conocido como anticoagulante, pero del que prácticamente se desconocen otras acciones en el tratamiento de esta afección. Existe estrecha relación entre el factor de activación plaquetario, los eosinófilos (con la proteína básica mayor que segregan) y la reacción asmática tardía, que es la causante del estado de mal asmático. Esta cadena podría ser la que la heparina antagonice con su acción antiagregante plaquetaria y neutralizadora de la proteína básica mayor y de ahí la utilidad de aplicarla en estos casos.The literature available on the use of heparin for the treatment of status asthmaticus appears to be contradictory and does not help to elucidate the problem. A review of the literature was made for searching the contact points between the pathophysiology of the status asthmaticus and heparin pharmacology, in order to explain the efficacy attributed to this well-known anticoagulant drug which actions in the treatment of this condition are not known. There is a close relationship between the platelet activating factor, eosinophils (with the major basic protein that they secrete) and the late asthmatic relation, which is the causative factor of status asthmaticus. This chain could be the one antagonised by heparin with its antiaggregating platelet action, and its neutralizing action of the major basic protein, thus being useful for the treatment of such cases.
