I think your question is "what is the best treament for a-fib"? from what I've learned and observed there is no single best pathway to deal with it. There are different options, as there are different causes for a-fib. Finding the best one is sometimes trial and error.
Based on the level of risk, most patients are either started on aspirin or Warfarin (Coumadin). Clopidogrel (Plavix) is an anti-platelet agent and acts via a different mechanism than coumadin does (coagulation pathway). Adding Clopidogrel to aspirin is a guideline that holds a Class 2b (see below) recommendation, and usually considered in those in which Warfarin is unsuitable due to patient preference or physician's assessment on a patient's ability to safely sustain anticoagulation.
Plavix is recommended for up to 1 year after stent implants to prevent blood clots for the DESs that have a higher record to clot. Aspirin is recommended indefinitely and there is a different pharmological pathway between the two anticoangulants.
Warfarin is one of the most widely used anticoagulant drugs worldwide.
Dear Doctors,
My husband had fontan operation in 1991when he was 13 years old, and he was on warfarin during these years he is 31 years old now and one month ago he had very high palpitation (240) , in hospital they said he had VT but his dr said after one month and result of holter monitoring he had SVT, and he is on satolol now 2 times a day.
Do your parent’s also have yellow teeth? If yes then it can be hereditary. Intrinsic and extrinsic stains can cause yellowish tinge on teeth. Excessive intake of tea/coffee,alcohol,illnesses,excessive intake of fluoride, excessive use of antibiotics during childhood can contribute to a change in the color of the dentine and lead to yellow teeth Extrinsic stains cause color change on the enamel, or through cracks and fissures on the tooth surface.
Restrictive lung disease is either intrinsic or extrinsic within the lungs. Intrinsic means that the lungs themselves are causing the restrictive defect, usually from scarring that is preventing the lung from expanding properly with each breath. Some disorders that cause intrinsic restrictive disease are pulmonary fibrosis, sarcoidosis,etc....
I am 19 years old. I am a very short and slender person. When I eat deep fried food, I become deathly ill. I have thrown up from funnel cakes, french fries, and bacon. I even landed in the hospital from eating sweet and sour chicken. I get indigestion a lot, mostly with burps that have vomitlike liquid. This happens when I eat ice cream/milk. I've had an Upper GI done, which shows extrinsic compression on my duodenum. I had a CT scan and an Ultrasound, and they are still clueless.
Given that yesterday he said to not take the warfarin he was changing me from the genertic warfarin and putting me on the brand name of the med coumadin. Said some folks do not tolerate warfarin well but do well on coumadin and i am to start the coumadin today. I would be lying if i didn't say i am a bit gunshy at this point. This med has made me absolutely miserable and today is my 43rd bday...
I am 72 and have suffered from AFib for about 15 years. I have been on Warfarin all that time, generic for Coumadin. I have been in normal sinus rhythmn during part of that time but remained on Warfarin just in case. I have been in permanent AFib since April 2007, except for about 30 days of NSR following my open heart surgery in 2007 to repair my mitral valve repair. This means my left atrium in ins fibrillation all the time, 24 hours a day.
DOES ANYONE KNOW IF WARFARIN CAN LOWER YOUR BLOOD COUNT AND AND ALSO LOWER CALCIUM AND VITAMIN D LEVELS?
Extrinsic stain can be easily removed by cleaning procedure.The purpose of bleaching is to whiten natual tooth shade.
ve tried to read as much as I can about warfarin along the way. I even went to a day-long CEU workshop for medical professionals on warfarin management and got the certificate. But I'm still not an expert. To my way of thinking, the experts are the hematologists, pharmacists, and other health professionals who manage large numbers of people's warfarin on a daily basis.
