Major surgical procedures require an INR<1.5, and patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation can pause their anticoagulation therapy periprocedural. However, bridging therapy with heparin is ...

Methods A retrospective cohort of 1000 consecutive patients presenting to the ED with chest pain was identified. If performed, the international normalised ratio (INR) and the activated partial ...

Warfarin and heparin are anticoagulant medications, or "blood thinners." They help stop your blood from clotting when it’s not necessary. Find out how the two drugs work, and how they differ.

None of the patients developed hypoglycemia. Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), prothrombin time (PT), international normalized ratio (INR), and complete blood cell count were obtained from ...

Treatment of thrombosis in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is based on long-term oral anticoagulation and treatment of obstetric manifestations on the use of aspirin and heparin. These ...

Prothrombin time (PT) and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) are tests used to evaluate coagulation, or the clotting of blood. While both measure how quickly blood clots, they have distinct purposes: ...

Without warfarin, a person with DVT may have an INR of around 1.0 (typically 0.8 to 1.2) and the goal of treatment is usually to achieve an INR of around 2.0 to 3.0. Low-molecular weight heparin ...

Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a condition that occurs as a result of an immune reaction to heparin-containing products. Learn more here.

Introduction: Anticoagulation therapy is necessary during ultrafiltration (UF) to prevent thrombus formation during the filtering process. Heparin is the anticoagulating agent recommended by Aquadex®.

Argatroban is a first-line anticoagulant used to treat individuals with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT). There was a dearth of published data on the practical implications of its application in ...
