Coagulation Activity and Emboli Counts in Patients with Prosthetic Cardiac Valves Stroke 25:1211-1214, Georgiadis,D.,et al, 1994 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract The lack of correlation between the activity of the coagulation system and the number of Doppler emboli in patients with prosthetic valves suggests that the underlying embolic material in these patients is not thrombotic. Our results also suggest that an increase of the anticoagulation intensity to an international normalized ratio above 3.5 does not result in a further decrease of the activity of the unstimulated coagulation system in patients with mechanical prosthetic valves.
