to those with mechanical heart valves

[Guest guest]

Hellow everybody I'am singh and about three years ago I had openheart

to replace a stenotic aeortic heart valve and I feel greate, the down

side I have to take coummodin [warfrin] every day to stay alive,

because if I dont take it for three days DEAD, now the hardest thing is

the monotering the INR. the powerband is three to four , well there are

two things that can be done to monitor go to the doctor four times a

week or use a home monitor they are on the net , and believe me they

are your best friend two minutes to get your results. Because vitamin K

in food will kill the anticoaiglent effect and once the valve clotsup

it cannot be cleaned out but has to be replaiced more open heart Green

vegtables pringles potatoe chips high in vitamin k the other side of

the coin grapefruit juce cranberry juice shoot the INR through the

cealing and hemorage can result . live long and enjoy G. Singh
