observed increased risk correlates with INR control. In summary, the findings of this large population-based study indicate that the initiation of warfarin is associated with an increased risk of ischaemic stroke.

متن کاملPercutaneous coronary intervention for acute myocardial infarction in a patient with dextrocardia.
Situs inversus with dextrocardia is a rare congenital anomaly. There are limited published case reports of successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in these patients who have atherosclerotic coronary artery disease, especially when presenting with acute myocardial infarction. PCI is technically difficult because of mirror image dextrocardia. We hereby describe a 48-yr-old female, who...
