Dabigatran is Less Effective Than Warfarin at Attenuating Mechanical Heart Valve-Induced Thrombin Generation
BACKGROUND Patients with mechanical heart valves (MHV) require warfarin to prevent thromboembolism. Although dabigatran was as effective as warfarin for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation when compared with warfarin in patients with MHV, the study was stopped early because of more strokes and bleeding with dabigatran. To determine why dabigatran was less effective than warfarin, we compar...
متن کاملDabigatran versus warfarin in patients with mechanical heart valves.
BACKGROUND Dabigatran is an oral direct thrombin inhibitor that has been shown to be an effective alternative to warfarin in patients with atrial fibrillation. We evaluated the use of dabigatran in patients with mechanical heart valves. METHODS In this phase 2 dose-validation study, we studied two populations of patients: those who had undergone aortic- or mitral-valve replacement within the ...
متن کاملDabigatran elimination: is haemodialysis effective?
Dabigatran, a direct thrombin inhibitor with oral bioavailability via its pro-drug Dabigatran etexilate, has been approved in the US and Europe for both the prevention of stroke and thrombo-embolic disease in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF), and for the prevention of venous thromboembolism after hip and knee replacement in Europe. While the traditional oral anticoagulant (OA...

متن کاملDosage compensation is less effective in birds than in mammals
BACKGROUND In animals with heteromorphic sex chromosomes, dosage compensation of sex-chromosome genes is thought to be critical for species survival. Diverse molecular mechanisms have evolved to effectively balance the expressed dose of X-linked genes between XX and XY animals, and to balance expression of X and autosomal genes. Dosage compensation is not understood in birds, in which females (...
