Abstract:
:Treatment with warfarin using a target International Normalized Ratio (INR) range of 1.7 to 2.5 is efficacious for many clinical indications, but the minimal intensity of anticoagulation required for antithrombotic protection has yet to be determined. To evaluate whether patients could be reliably monitored with a less intense regimen, we anticoagulated patients with warfarin for several months using a target INR range of 1.3 to 1.6 as determined by prothrombin time (PT) using a sensitive thromboplastin (Dade IS, International Sensitivity Index [ISI] = 1.3). Plasma measurements of F1+2, a marker of factor Xa action on prothrombin in vivo, were also obtained to determine the suppressive effect of warfarin on hemostatic system activity. Overall, 20 of 21 patients with a history of cerebrovascular events (mean age, 61 years) could be reliably regulated with warfarin in the target INR range. F1+2 levels were significantly suppressed from baseline in all patients, with a mean reduction of 49% (range, 28% to 78%). We found a significant relationship between the extent of suppression of prothrombin activation levels and the baseline measurements. A mean reduction of 65% was observed for those patients with baseline F1+2 greater than or equal to 1.5 nmol/L, but only 38% for baseline F1+2 less than or equal to 0.5 nmol/L. Overall, 68% of plasma samples obtained during stable anticoagulation were within the target INR range. PTs were also determined on all plasma samples with two thromboplastins of lower sensitivity (C+, ISI = 2.09; and automated simplastin, ISI = 2.10). Only 47% and 35% of PT determinations, respectively, were within the target range with these reagents. We conclude that prothrombin activation can be significantly suppressed in vivo with use of warfarin in an INR range of 1.3 to 1.6. This level of anticoagulation can be reliably achieved by monitoring PTs with a thromboplastin of high sensitivity.
