Hi doctor,
If I have had an open heart surgery, how long should I take Warfarin for?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
It depends upon the cause for which the surgery is being done, and what open heart surgery is being done.
And if you have any indication for long-term anticoagulation like atrial fibrillation (abnormal heartbeat).
I can provide you more insights only after knowing the complete details.
