The INR can drop sharply and I have a concern. Example I do a test on Friday and I find INR 2.4 the next Friday it is 1.7 No one knows how much it could have been in the previous days, it could have been 1.5 on the previous Tuesday, etc. So taking a dose of heparin protects me because I might be...

Before the surgery I had already bought my own cash and a box of tapes, my heart surgeon and my cardiologist were in agreement.In Greece, the public health organization gave the possibility for someone to buy cash with a big discount, and very few patients did it. From what I understood, the...

Dear neighbor, my knowledge is that the pro model is not suitable and has nothing more to offer you. You can find on ebay or in stores in Europe the CoaguChek® INRange system model, which is the latest model for home use...

Important for me is that science and technology kept me alive, the choice of valve has many parameters apart from age, for example atrial fibrillation - kidney failure - pulmonary problems etc. all these must be evaluated not only by the cardiologist but also by a good pathologist who can put...

Here in Greece and as far as I know not even in Europe a prescription is needed, someone can go to a pharmacy and buy a box for 80 euros. If you have a doctor's opinion and prescription, you can apply to the health organization and pay about 10-15% of the value. The strips are not medicine and...

Unfortunately, it will be very difficult to buy medical technology products online, the companies want to have all the profit. The fines for those who do not comply with the legislation will be huge. Can you imagine someone filing a lawsuit that his films showed a wrong result and that this was...
