Target inr for atrial fibrillation. Western guidelines recommend an international normalized ratio INR range of 2 to 3 when using warfarin for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation AF but lower INR ranges are frequently used in East Asia. INR target range Atrial fibrillation AF prior embolism andor left atrial thrombus. 25 20-30 AF plus systemic embolism or left atrial thrombus.
Favouring adjusted dose warfarin INR 20-30 5. In patients with atrial fibrillation treated with warfarin current evidence suggests that the best ratio of benefit to risk is achieved when the target INR is 20-30 5. Stroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation Investigators.
International Normalized Ratio INR Targets. Atrial Fibrillation and Flutter We suggest continuing anticoagulation for at least four weeks after return to sinus rhythm particularly if the. Long-term anticoagulation should be considered for patients who remain in AF or who have paroxysmal AF.
In patients with non-valvular AF anticoagulate with warfarin to target INR of 25 range 20-30. An INR of 16-26 is safe and effective at preventing thromboembolic events in patients with NVAF particularly patients aged 70 years. An INR of 26-299 is also effective but associated with a slightly increased risk in major hemorrhage.
UMIN Clinical Trials Registry UMIN000001569. Atrial fibrillation cardioversiontarget INR should be achieved at least 3 weeks before cardioversion and anticoagulation should continue for at least 4 weeks after the procedure higher target values such as an INR of 3 can be used for up to 4 weeks before the procedure to avoid cancellations due to low INR. A target INR of 25 range 20-30 is acceptable for bileaflet mechanical values eg.
Jude Valve in the aortic position. A target INR of 25 range 20-30 plus aspirin 81 mg is also acceptable. Clinical guideline CG180 Published.

In the study of Torn et al. There was a change of target INR during 1996 from the interval 3045 to 2535 for patients with atrial fibrillation.
The corresponding change of distribution of INR is illustrated in Fig. The target INR is 25 for the first 3 months after valve insertion after which oral anticoagulation is usually discontinued long term anticoagulation may be required for other reasons such as atrial fibrillation and replaced with aspirin Whitlock et al 2012. Aspirin is not recommended to prevent strokes caused by atrial fibrillation.
People with atrial fibrillation who have a high or moderate risk of having a stroke are usually prescribed warfarin unless theres a reason they cannot take it. Warfarin is an anticoagulant which means it stops the blood clotting. In most situations the INR target is 25 target range 20 30.
This range is appropriate for the prophylaxis or treatment of venous thromboembolism and reduction of the risk of systemic embolism for people with atrial fibrillation and valvular heart disease. International normalized ratio INR target of 20 to 30 for preventing ischemic stroke in atrial fibrillation. We assessed whether the INR target should be adjusted based on selected patient characteristics.
We conducted a case-control study nested within the ATRIA.
