How education level affects warfarin self-management
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how a person's education level affects their ability to manage their own blood-thinning medication (like warfarin). It aims to see if more education leads to better health outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been taking a vitamin K antagonist (like warfarin) for at least 6 months.
- You have not had a life-threatening bleed or dangerous blood clot in the past.

This trial studies whether the blood thinner warfarin is safe and effective for preventing stroke and blood clots in people who have atrial fibrillation and need long-term dialysis. It may help your care team better balance clot prevention against bleeding risk.
This study tests a better way to manage warfarin (a blood thinner) for people with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). The goal is to improve treatment and help prevent stroke.
This Phase 3 study tests whether aiming for a lower blood-thinning test result (INR) can reduce bleeding risk in people with a specific type of mechanical heart valve. The trial checks if this lower INR goal is safer while still protecting against dangerous clots.
This study looks at how to better predict both stroke risk and bleeding risk in people with atrial fibrillation. It may help doctors choose safer blood-thinner treatment and follow-up plans.
This study looks at why some people process warfarin (a blood-thinning medicine) differently. It aims to learn what personal or medication factors may affect how well warfarin works, so future dosing can be safer and more accurate.
This trial tests if talking with a pharmacist helps people with atrial fibrillation remember to take their blood thinner medicine correctly. It may improve stroke prevention.
