anticoagulant therapy

But they may be most effective when combined with anticoagulant therapy.

In most cases, anticoagulant therapy is the mainstay of treatment.

Thromboembolism strikes approximately 5% of cases not receiving anticoagulant therapy.

Anticoagulant therapy is initiated to prevent further enlargement of the thrombus.

In either case, the anticoagulant therapy could have converted the clot into a hemorrhagic stroke.

A new method for controlling anticoagulant therapy.

Anticoagulant therapy may be started at this point or withheld until further tests confirm the diagnosis, depending on the clinical situation.

Studies have shown that when anticoagulant therapy is withheld recurrence of thrombosis usually follows.

Anticoagulant therapy was started with heparin.

A guide to oral anticoagulant therapy.

There is frequently a plausible precipitating factor such as local trauma, a bout of coughing or anticoagulant therapy.

Because of the high recurrence rates of thromboembolism, it is necessary to administer anticoagulant therapy as well.

Using the INR system, treatment with blood-thinning medicine (anticoagulant therapy) will be the same.

In one series that used anticoagulant therapy for patients as part of the treatment protocol, there were reports of reocclusion after this therapy was stopped.

When initiating warfarin therapy ("warfarinization"), the doctor will decide how strong the anticoagulant therapy needs to be.

Expanding such models to consider frailty, cognitive and functional decline, or nonadherence to anticoagulant therapy is warranted.

(A patient receiving anticoagulant therapy, for example, shouldn't take vitamin E because it, too, blocks clotting of the blood.)

The INR is typically used to monitor patients on warfarin or related oral anticoagulant therapy.

Anticoagulant therapy with LMWH is not usually monitored.

Anticoagulant therapy, as well as disorders with blood clotting can heighten the risk that an intracranial hemorrhage will occur.

To check for any thrombocytopenia, platelet count should be checked prior to commencing anticoagulant therapy, then seven to 10 days after commencement, and monthly thereafter.

Anticoagulant therapy is usually instituted to avoid life-threatening diseases and a high vitamin K intake interferes with the anticoagulant effect.

The condition was related to the man's longstanding heart failure and to earlier heart surgery that required anticoagulant therapy, his surgeon, Dr. O. H. Frazier said.

Ongoing headache or fever, AIDS, recent head trauma, cancer, or anticoagulant therapy also increases the likelihood that the seizure was related to a serious brain problem.

Scans may also be done if the person has ongoing headache or fever, AIDS, recent trauma (especially to the head), or a history of cancer or anticoagulant therapy.
