Male 55 years old with paroxysmal AF.

My name is Nick and I am 55 years old.

I lead an active lifestyle and have a busy job in lawyer’s firm. I have a prior history of myocardial infarction (7 years ago) and paroxysmal AF (first episode was 6 years ago).

I am constantly taking Warfarin and my physician recommends that I should regularly measure the INR to monitor the effectiveness of the drug. Today, I have brought another set of INR measurements which are outside the desired range.

What should I do?

My measurements are quite often outside the desired range.

I am fine with warfarin and I have had no adverse events.

I have had no adverse events. I will ask my doctor to suspend my OAC treatment.

I should adjust my dosage and regulate my diet according to my doctor’s advice.
