I don't have the INRange, but that's interesting and I wonder why its not clear in the manual? I wonder where the source data for this is (not that I doubt it) and why its not easily found on the web?

what do you mean by tolerance? Only INR range? Because I'm pretty sure that the valves are made to highly exacting tolerance. They are very durable (but this isn't tolerance) and not demonstrated to be significantly more or less tolerant to endocarditis. If its the INR, then what do you think...

I'm sure that it depends on financial capacity. I know some people here from India have used Coaguchek, I guess (because I know some do) many just go to a clinic at some interval ... perhaps monthly. Many are on Sinthrome and INR variability is different there. I'd say by and large most people...

I can tell you that quite a lot of us are more interested in the stability and financial sustainability of this forum. Do not take this place for granted; the alternatives are crap like Facebook and Reddit. If you've tried them you'll know what I mean.

I suspect that he means "improper anticoagulation" ... not handling associated with implantation. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ dunno Younger generations seem woefully unskilled at framing a statement or even just using the English language in any sort of manner that allows a listener (who isn't them) to get it...

Yes, that's the sad truth of it

Surgical grade stainless steel is typically not ... I included the X-Ray showing them to make clear that they were there when I've had my MRI (although I didn't mention them explicitly. From Google Whether surgical stainless steel is magnetic depends on its chemical composition: Magnetic...

indeed ... and I've never deviated from my surgeons recommendation Last years data; a couple of points approaching 3, one below it and a bit of dose dancing to keep it under control there presently I'm dosing 7mg again (LHS vertical is INR RHS vertical is daily mg)

Hi ahh ... I see now what you mean. I guess it depends on what you mean by "optimising" ... as you said: so, given that you're new and don't have much experience could you explain what you mean by optimising? Is it: making it the lowest it can be before you get a stroke? making it the...

welcome just to assist you a bit more this is my X-Ray showing (among other things) my ATS valve. They "bake in" (literally) radio opaque materials for the convenience of X-Ray analysis, had they not it would literally be transparent. A segment of the letter from ATS (consult your own valve...

Hi and welcome warfarin ... not Sinthrome? In Serbia? Very interesting, I'll know someone who will want to know about that if its actually warfarin. I needed an MRI on my knee, the morons (yes morons) at the front desk created 3 months delays by insisting that I get a letter from my surgeon...

Agreed, totally picked my tachycardia issue in its early days. It's also useful when I'm training to know my HR and my recovery response

Sorry to hear that, bumpy landing's are still on the table for as much as a year. Don't try to predict the way yours will unfold, just take it as it comes. There are a few non invasive ways available to them first. Best Wishes

You may have noticed me saying that depending on your stroke risk (have you had one, have you had one at INR > 2) the preoperative management (for things like colonoscopies, biopsies and minor surgeries) can be done more subtly than the usual calls for you going off warfarin for a week...

Do we have such a group?

Hi so, allow me to get back to this here's the thing; we don't do studies on things which are well established nothing has changed there is no funding for Human metabolism has not undergone any observable evolution in genetics in the last few decades, and Warfarin has been studied since the...

Thanks ... actually I'm not interested in the pictures themselves, because I'll go and read the studies (that's important to me to read the study). I got the search terms you used in one but normally I want the actual URL, which I see that Safari hides that from you. The URL allows one to...

Palpitations is my guess

That's interesting, would you be so kind as to share one or two? I'm quite sure that the curve will change for younger vs older patients. My surgeon initially directed me to keep my lower bounds to 2.2, which is interesting. With respect to AF vs Mech that is covered in the articles for that...

ah yes, yet another marketing claim not met in reality ... personally I'd rather be on warfarin; not a "one size fits all" product (that never fits anyone properly) and I mean the anticoagulation amount...
