Coumadin Facts Suggested By Sean For Patients – Video

Yesterday, Sean made some interesting comments to Nancy about the risks of Coumadin use [1]. In his response, Sean referenced an online video for patients and caregivers to learn more about the use of blood thinners (anticoagulants) to prevent clotting [2] for those patients that select a mechanical heart valve replacement [3].
I just spent some time reviewing the video on anticoagulation (Coumadin / Warfarin). Sean was right on. The team at Discovery Health did a good job with this one. While the video can be a little technical, it is rich with information for people looking to learn more about the advantages and disadvantages, risks and opportunities of Coumadin use [4].
Thanks Sean!
Keep on tickin!
