Optimal International Normalized Ratio for Warfarin Therapy in Elderly Korean Patients with Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation
Background and Objectives: Optimal international normalized ratio (INR) in elderly atrial fibrillation (AF) patients at higher risk of hemorrhagic events remains unclear. We investigated the efficacy and safety of low-intensity warfarin therapy (target international normalized ratio [INR], 1.6–2.6) in elderly Korean patients with nonvalvular AF (NVAF). Subjects and Methods: We enrolled 528 NVAF...

متن کاملInternational Normalized Ratio Stability in Warfarin-Experienced Patients with Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation
BACKGROUND Maintaining stable levels of anticoagulation using warfarin therapy is challenging. Few studies have examined the stability of the international normalized ratio (INR) in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) who have had ≥6 months' exposure to warfarin anticoagulation for stroke prevention. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to describe INR control in NVAF patients who had...
متن کاملInternational Normalized Ratio ( Inr )
Prothrombin time can be measured roughly on whole blood as in neonates, but is more commonly measured from plasma. Blood is taken into a vacutainer containing liquid citrate. Citrate acts as an anticoagulant by consuming all the calcium in the sample. The blood is mixed and centrifuged to separate blood cells from the plasma. The plasma is placed in a coagulation machine which takes a sample of...
متن کاملInternational normalized ratio.
Dear Madam, The P.T. assay, first described in 1935 by Quick et al. soon became the monitoring of oral anticoagulant therapy. The P.T. measures the affect of reduction in the Vit. K dependent coagulant factors II, VII and X. Because the Prothrombin Time Ratio (P.T.R.) is markedly affected by the activity of thromboplastin, the W. It helps to determine the intensity of anti-coagulation therapy b...
