Optimal Intensity of Warfarin Therapy for Secondary Prevention of Stroke in Patients with Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation
Stroke 31:817-821, Yamaguchi,T., 2000
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
For secondary prevention of stroke in persons with NVAF, especially in old patients, the low-intensity warfarin (INR 1.5 to 2.1) treatment seems to be safer than the conventional-intensity (INR 2.2 to 3.5) treatment.
