    Green tea and Matcha products

    Never had matcha, (saporo i do know :) ) ; green tea i take 4 cups a day, it does not seem to create any problems for my inr; maybe it just helps to keep it more stable; because when i dont drink it for few days cause of travels inr tends to go up, but it may be just a coincidence.

    Mechanical Aorta Valve / Anticoagulants

    i was given 2 choices by my surgeon, tissue or OnX, no mech, just Onx; as it is the only mech valve that opens 90 degrees and better for panus protection, he said nothing about inr range. My surgeon says...., nothing wrong with other mech valves, OnX is just a newer valve with some design...

    On-X low INR target

    Actually for me warfarin+aspirin is a no no, besides the 7 doctors in my family, 2 sisters and 5 first cousins, all tell me that, "do not take warfarin and aspirin every day", bleeding happens at many levels, now, i am just a mathematical engineer but those 7 guys spent lots of time reading and...

    On-X low INR target

    Just forgot to mention earlier, yes asa does not influence INR level, but it does increase risk of bleeding, that is why i only take it once a week, not looking for controversy, we all have different bodies and they operate in different manners under specific personal conditions.
