Anticoagulants are "agents that prevent blood clotting".[1] They may be used to prevent embolism and thrombosis.

[edit intro]

Vitamin K antagonists

Warfarin

For more information, see: warfarin.

Warfarin is a commonly used oral anticoagulant that interferes with the Vitamin K dependent coagulation co-factors.

Heparins

Unfractionated heparin

Details of the usage of heparin are available in clinical practice guidelines by the American College of Chest Physicians[2]:

Low molecular weight heparin

The last dose of low molecular weight heparin prior to procedures should occur 24 hours before the procedure in order to prevent high residual anti-Xa levels.[3]

Direct thrombin inhibitors

Direct thrombin inhibitors bind directly to thrombin.[4]

Factor Xa inhibitors

Warfarin combined with heparin

Warfarin combined with heparin did not benefit survivors of acute myocardial infarction in a randomized controlled trial.[10]

Warfarin combined with heparin reduced events, but increased bleeding, among survivors of acute myocardial infarction in a randomized controlled trial.[11]
