Effects of warfarin on markers of hypercoagulability in patients with heart failure.

Abstract:

:Heart failure is associated with a hypercoagulable state. A single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was performed to test the hypothesis that warfarin will modify a hypercoagulable state in heart failure. This study included 76 patients with heart failure. At baseline, patients had evidence for a hypercoagulable state with elevated plasma levels of thrombin/antithrombin III (TAT) complexes (3.4 +/- 2.0 ng/ml), prothrombin fragment F1 + 2 (1.5 +/- 0.9 nmol/L), and D-dimers (630 +/- 401 ng/ml). Warfarin therapy (international normalized ratio [INR] 2.7 +/- 1.3) significantly decreased plasma levels of TAT complexes (p < 0.002), F1 + 2 (p < 0.001), and D-dimers (p < 0.001) when compared with baseline values at 1, 2, and 3 months of therapy. In contrast, patients receiving placebo had persistent elevation of TAT complexes (p = not significant [NS]), F1 + 2 (p = NS), and D-dimers (p = NS) during follow-up at 1, 2, and 3 months. The two treatment groups followed different trends over time for all three markers (p < 0.001). The effect of low-intensity warfarin (INR 1.3 +/- 0.08) versus moderate-intensity warfarin (INR 2.3 +/- 1.1 ) on markers of hypercoagulability was evaluated in 14 patients. When compared with baseline, low-intensity warfarin administration decreased plasma levels of TAT complexes (p = NS), F1 + 2 (p = 0.05), and D-dimers (p = 0.04). In these patients F1 + 2 was further reduced with moderate-intensity warfarin (p < 0.001). Our findings suggest that a hypercoagulable state in heart failure can be modified by warfarin therapy.
