Why the study?
Does anticoagulation control quality affect D-dimer levels in atrial fibrillation patients treated with warfarin?
Does anticoagulation control quality affect D-dimer levels in atrial fibrillation patients treated with warfarin?
In atrial fibrillation patients treated with warfarin, poor anticoagulation control and high INR fluctuation are associated with a prothrombotic state as indicated by elevated D-dimer levels.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Poor anticoagulation quality may signal elevated thrombotic risk in AF on warfarin; leaves open whether optimizing TTR improves outcomes.
Nakatani et al. (2011) studied this question.
