He made no comment. I was asking him if I could stop the aspirin as recommended by internist due to gastro issues. He said to stop aspirin and that was it. We were talking over email. Maybe he wants an office visit to discuss further....

Thank you for that explanation.

So people that tested 3.0 to 3.4 had 2.4 events in one year? Did I get that right?

Ok I see. Thank you.

Thank you Protimenow. You are right that the doctor took the sample in his office during my visit and sent it out to Labcorp. I thought the difference was a lot. Anyway one more thing to worry about. Thank you for writing.

One comment. What is patient years?

Thank you so much Pellicle! I will read this over a few times.

What is that App? What does it do?

Well I had to have some blood drawn the other day and my internist used Lab Core to check my INR. I thought it would be a good time to check the outcomes with my Vantus Xs Coagu check. I was not fasting. He took my blood at 10 am or so. I went home and an hour later my machine read 3.4. The...

Wire pulling? Are those pacemaker wires? I have them left in there and thus no MRI for me ever. Glad you are in recovery now!

Bravo! The waiting I do think is really hard. I also had my valve surgery at Cleveland Clinic 2001. Best wishes for a quick recovery.

I take Magnesium glycinate 400 daily. No problem.

I drink 2 wines most nights. Sometimes I don't feel like it and I don't or sometimes I just have one. It has not been a problem with my INR.
