Слайд 2Overview
Indications
Heparin/heparin like drugs and their complications
Warfarin
New anticoagulant drugs
Слайд 3Indications of Anticoagulant Therapy
Treatment and Prevention of Deep Venous Thrombosis
Pulmonary Emboli
Prevention
of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation, artificial heart valves, cardiac thrombus.
Ischaemic heart disease
During procedures such as cardiac catheterisation
Слайд 4Standard Heparin
Heterogenous mixture of polysaccharide chains
MW 3k to 30k
Active in
vitro and in vivo
Administration - parenteral- Do not inject IM - only IV or deep s.c.
Half-life 1 - 2 hrs - monitor APTT
Adverse effect - haemorrhage - antidote - protamine sulphate
Слайд 5
Enhances Antithrombin Activity
Слайд 6Heparin mechanism of action
Heparin
Antithrombin III
Thrombin
Слайд 7Monitoring Heparin
Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT)
Normal range: 25-40 seconds
Therapeutic Range: 55-70 seconds
Timing
4-6 hours after commencing infusion
4-6 hours after changing dosing regimen
Слайд 8Low Molecular Weight Heparin
Changed management of venous thromboembolism
Standard (Unfractionated) heparin 3k
to 30k
LMWH contains polysaccharide chains MW 5k
Enriched with short chains with higher anti-Xa:IIa ratio
Слайд 13Complications of Heparin
Haemorrhage
Heparin-induced thrombocytopaenia (HIT)
Osteoporosis (long-term only)

Слайд 18Warfarin: Major Adverse Effect—Haemorrhage
Factors that may influence bleeding risk:
Intensity of anticoagulation
Concomitant
clinical disorders
Concomitant use of other medications
Quality of management
Слайд 20Prothrombin Time (PT)
Historically, a most reliable and “relied upon” clinical test
However:
Proliferation
of thromboplastin reagents with widely varying sensitivities to reduced levels of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors has occurred
Problem addressed by use of INR (International Normalised Ratio)
Слайд 21Changing over from Heparin to Warfarin
May begin concomitantly with heparin therapy
Heparin
should be continued until target INR for two days
When INR reaches desired therapeutic range, discontinue heparin
Слайд 22
Warfarin: Dosing & Monitoring
Start low
Initiate 5 mg daily
Educate patient
Stabilise
Titrate to appropriate
INR
Monitor INR frequently (daily then weekly)
Adjust as necessary
Monitor INR regularly (every 1–2 weeks) and adjust
Слайд 23Relative Contraindications to Warfarin Therapy
Situations where the risk of hemorrhage is
greater than the potential clinical benefits of therapy
Uncontrolled alcohol/drug abuse
Unsupervised dementia/psychosis
Слайд 24Reversing action of warfarin
Plasma
Rapid but short-lasting
Vitamin K
Not rapid, but lasts 1-2
weeks. Do not use if wishing to restart warfarin within next week.
Слайд 25New Anticoagulation Drugs
Direct Thrombin Inhibitors
PO: Dabigatran
IV: hirudin, bivalirudin, and argatroban
Synthetic pentasaccharide
Acivated
Protein C
Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor (TFPI)
Factor Xa inhibitor PO: rivaroxaban, apixaban, edoxaban
Слайд 26Synthetic Pentasaccharide
E.g Fondaparinux (Arixtra®)
Synthetic, single molecular entity
Targets Factor Xa
Does not cause
thrombocytopenia
Shown DVT prevention during orthopedic procedures.
Better than LMWH in ischaemic heart disease
Слайд 27Dabigatran (Pradaxa®)
Two doses available.
Twice daily treatment.
No monitoring needed.
Recent studies showed
it as good as or even superior to warfarin in atrial fibrillation and VTE treatment.
Слайд 28Rivaroxaban (Xarelto®); Apixaban (Eliquis®)
Once/ twice daily
No dose monitoring needed.
As good as
warfarin in efficacy and superior on safety in AF and VTE treatment
