Abstract

The diagnostic potential of whole blood viscoelastic tests thromboelastography (TEG®) and thromboelastometry (ROTEM®) to detect warfarin-induced INR elevation remains elusive. Viscoelastic tests were performed in 107 patients on warfarin and 89 healthy controls. Tests were activated by kaolin for TEG, and ellagic acid (INTEM) or tissue factor (EXTEM) for ROTEM. Viscoelastic tests revealed significant differences in clotting profiles between controls and warfarin-treated patients. Compared with healthy controls, patients treated with warfarin had prolonged EXTEM clotting and TEG reaction time (p<0.001), both of which were also increased beyond the reference range. Increased INR values correlated with EXTEM CT (Spearman rho=0.87) and TEG R-time (rho=0.73). EXTEM CT had a sensitivity and specificity of 0.89 and 1.00, respectively, to detect elevated INR above 1.2 units, with a positive and negative predictive values (PPV and NPV) of 1.00 and 0.88, respectively. Similarly, TEG R-time had a sensitivity and specificity of 0.86 and 0.87, respectively, with a PPV of 0.89 and a NPV of 0.83. The corresponding receiver operator characteristic area under the curve was 0.99 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.99 - 1.00) for EXTEM CT and 0.94 (...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
