  4. 2. Anticoagulation treatment in patients with a mechanical heart valve

    Author : Bartosz Grzymala-Lubanski; Anders Själander; Peter J. Svensson; David Bergqvist; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mechanical heart valve; anticoagulation; warfarin; Time in Therapeutic Range TTR ; INR variability;

    Abstract : BackgroundEvery year about 2,500 patients in Sweden undergo surgery for heart valve disease, primarily in the aortic valve.  In contrast to the mitral valve, which can be repaired in 70% of the cases, the aortic valve is normally replaced by a mechanical or biological prosthesis.

  5. 3. Oral anticoagulation treatment in atrial fibrillation - To bleed or not to bleed, that is the question

    Author : Mattias Wieloch; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; anticoagulation; atrial fibrillation; hemorrhage; kidney; warfarin; epidemiology; stroke;

    Abstract : Background: Oral antigoagulation treatment (OAT) with warfarin have a narrow therapeutic window and patients exhibit a highly variable doseresponse that is attributable to genetic, disease-related,and environmental factors as well as prescription and nonprescription drugs, dietary vitamin K and alcohol. The effect of warfarin treatement on blood coagulation is measured using international normalized ratio (INR). READ MORE

  6. 4. Atrial fibrillation and cause of death, sex differences in mortality, and anticoagulation treatment in low-risk patients

    Author : Tommy Andersson; Ole Frøbert; Dritan Poçi; Egon Toft; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Atrial fibrillation; Cerebral infarction; Anticoagulation; Cause of death; Mortality risk; Sex differences; CHA2DS2-VASc score;

    Abstract : Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia but information on cause of death in patients with AF is sparse, and whether individuals at low risk of cerebral infarction (CVL) should receive antico-agulant medication is controversial. Studies of sex differences with respect to mortality risk have shown conflicting results. READ MORE

  7. 5. How to reduce the exposure to anticoagulants when performing haemodialysis in patients with a bleeding risk : a study of methods used in clinical practise

    Author : Malin Skagerlind; Bernd Stegmayr; Birgitta Olofsson; Fredrik Uhlin; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Acute kidney injury; dialysis; hemorrhage; anticoagulation; Akut njursvikt; dialys; blödning; antikoagulation; medicin; Medicine;

    Abstract : When a patient suffers from kidney failure and also has an enhanced risk of bleeding, the standard haemodialysis (HD) treatment becomes a problem. When human blood comes in contact with artificial material, as in the tubing system and in the dialyser (the extra corporeal circuit, ECC), the coagulation system is activated. READ MORE
