Treatment Stability of Warfarin and Acenocoumarol in Patients With MechanicalHeart Valves and Atrial Fibrillation: A One-Year Cohort Study
Our unadjusted descriptive results suggested that warfarin, compared to acenocoumarol, may provide more stable and therefore safer anticoagulation control in patients with mechanical heart valves and atrial fibrillation. To confirm this, larger prospective clinical studies are needed in patients with mechanical heart valves with or without atrial fibrillation.
