About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Blood Coagulation Disorders focused on measuring Chronic Oral Anticoagulation

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria: Patients with any clinical indication for chronic oral anticoagulation with one INR level out of target, without a clear clinical cause for INR instability (unplanned changes in coumadin medications, other pharmacological interactions, clinical illnesses and laboratory errors). Exclusion Criteria: Clinical evidence of bleeding or thrombosis. INR > 4 or INR < 1,5.
