If you take Coumadin® or you care for anyone who takes Coumadin®, Jantoven, or any other form of warfarin, you need this book. After more than 20 years of taking warfarin, the author explains the best way to stay healthy while taking this very powerful drug. Here is what she has to say:
“In 1996, I had open-heart surgery to replace my mitral valve. From that moment, I knew I would be taking warfarin for the rest of my life. Without it, my new St. Jude valve would damage my blood cells and cause blood clots to form inside my heart.â€
“Since then, I learned through trial and error how changes I made changed the effectiveness of my warfarin dose. I share my experiences and my learnings in this book, so you will make the right choices to maintain the delicate balance between blood that clots too quickly and blood that is dangerously thin. When started taking warfarin in 1996, I would have paid anything to have a book like this.â€
50% of the profits of every book will be donated to the American Heart Association.
