Abstract:
Aggressive anticoagulation therapy is necessary when Toyobo-LVAS is used for long-term treatment of severe heart failure. However, it is necessary to regulate it carefully if there is a hemorrhagic complication due to thromboembolism, but repeated blood testing is painful. We compared simple measurement with the CoaguChek XS® with the conventional blood testing method. The correlation coefficient was 0.916, and the regression line was Y=0.8027X+0.3399. In addition, drawing blood using the CoaguChek XS® was very effective in the reported pain reduction in patients.
