متن کاملEffects of fixed low-dose warfarin, aspirin-warfarin combination therapy, and dose-adjusted warfarin on thrombogenesis in chronic atrial fibrillation.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Recent clinical trials have established that adjusted-dose warfarin (international normalized ratio [INR] 2.0 to 3.0) is highly effective in the reduction of ischemic stroke in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF). We hypothesized that the introduction of fixed low-dose warfarin alone or in combination with aspirin (300 mg) could normalize hemostatic markers...

We investigated the hemorrhagic outcomes related to the differential management of AF with warfarin alone versus combination therapy. Methods and Results This retrospective cohor...

This survey aimed to establish oculoplastic specialist and non-speci...
