Correct. > The warfarin prevents clots the aspirin thins the blood .is the > correct? The warfarin prevents clots from forming in the atria of your heart because of the atrial fibrillation. The aspirin prevents the thrombotic occlusion of coronary arteries during plaque rupture (i.e. heart attack) and the embolic events from peripheral plaque rupture (e.g. ischemic stroke). > thank you for your help You are welcome.

Thanks ,I have spoken to the GP to day and he has stopped the aspirin ,although I would have thought that it was a good idea to continue,but he should know what's best.I get so confused sometimes, what with the blood test several times a week to get the warfarin level correct, ether at the hospital or the surgery.plus having to take medication for arthritis and prostate.I picked up 15 packets of tablets today from the pharmacy, which I did not pay a penny for.

Thank God for the National Health Service here in > UK.....cas Would suggest you get a second opinion from a cardiologist about whether the aspirin should be stopped in your particular case. Andrew <>< -- Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhD http://EmoryCardiology.com I also have Afib, and as soon as I was put on Coumadin, my Cardiologist took me off the aspirin right away..They don't mix....lots of luck with your Afib....Nel >> >>I suffer from atrial fibrillation,and have been prescribed warfarin to >> >>prevent blood clotting.The question is should I come off the aspirin [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > Andrew B.

I guess it's just a matter of medical evaluation of risk/benefit. Regards --- Uplbet |
