Warfarin/Coumadin Dangers for Atrial Fibrillation Patients

Please click the title above to take you to this Warfarin Study.

If you have Atrial Fibrillation and "No Heart Failure", Warfarin, as it's common name of "Coumadin" could increase Isometric Strokes by a large margin, stated in this medical study.  Persons taking this medication should consult with their doctors to discuss an alternate path of treatment due to the medical studies indicating further strokes could happen, as well as disabilities could happen.

With all the possibilities in life, trusting our medical professionals is what were taught to do.  In the medication pertaining to Warfarin/Coumadin, the medication needs to be prescribed for a good reason is what anyone would believe of course, coming from a doctor.  After we learned about the dangers found in medical studies regarding "Digoxin" having a 'high mortality', it was only moments later when the second drug Warfarin/Coumadin was also found to have increased danger.  Please click link here---> Warfarin Study: Increased Stroke for Atrial Fibrillation Patients 

Doctors have & may still prescribed Digoxin with the combination of Warfarin.  Due to the studies releasing information regarding Warfarin & Digoxin, these are both dangerous drugs, and must be discussed with your doctor. 

At Up With People Legal, we are Advocates for the Elderly, as well as the Disabled; we look out for issues that could potentially save lives by mentioning this on our website.  In the next few paragraphs, you will hear about what warnings we've learned  and, provide information to discuss with your doctor just in case you take this medication, or Digoxin for Atrial Fibrillation ~without~ Congestive Heart Failure, or any other 'Heart Condition Diagnosis'.  We provide the medical studies here of Warfarin plus Digoxin, with built-in links for you to easily go to for the published study.  A medical study is exclusive to the health & well being of all.

Contradictory Medical Study Information

This is controversial to what's stated in the Warfarin/Coumadin study. 

This comes from a website indicating the year "2009" which is two (2) years after the 2007 medical study on Warfarin indicating "Increase in Isometric Strokes for Atrial Fibrillation Patients"

Death and Disability from Warfarin-Associated Intracranial and Extracranial Hemorrhages 

Information that's contradicting the information presented in the Warfarin/Coumadin study above: Why would anyone come out in this study in 2007 stating Warfarin/Coumadin will increase Isometric Strokes, then in 2009 place on their website that was "Updated as of April 19, 2021" as Warfarin/Coumadin "Decreases Strokes"?

The medical study regarding another drug we looked into called "Digoxin", will increase death for a specific group of patients (age 75 and older) exclusive to the diagnosis "Atrial Fibrillation".  A Researcher says this pertaining to Warfarin/Coumadin:

“Yet multiple studies demonstrate that patients with atrial fibrillation are frequently not prescribed Warfarin despite its benefits in ischemic stroke risk reduction.”

Warfarin/Coumadin by itself is dangerous for an Atrial Fibrillation Patient, and almost guaranteed with this medical study stating an Isometric Stroke is high probability.  Then mix Digoxin in with Warfarin/Coumadin, which doctors may still prescribe together in 2021, increases the chances of death, increasing a high probability of a ‘Brain-Bleed Stroke’ (Isometric Stroke), and hospital stays.  Please consult your doctor if you are taking or know someone taking these two (2) drugs  Web Link: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3534961/ 

Anytime an increase in death, disability, or any suffering should be discussed and notify the Public of the increase in dangers. 

In one of the medical studies, an increase of Mortality ~which means "Death" could happen to at least "71%" to all Atrial Fibrillation Patients-that don't have "Heart Conditions", don't have "Congestive Heart Failure (CHF), and don't have "Valve Problems".  The Public needs to know of Digoxin’s increased All -Mortality- Death.  With increased mortality, plus a 63% increase rate of hospitalizations exclusive to Atrial Fibrillation Patients (based on the 2012 findings, it could be much higher in 2021), with patients taking Digoxin--analysis:

“Digoxin is...used for rate control of atrial fibrillation (AF). It has, however, been associated with increased mortality.”

 The study "Digoxin Associated with higher Risk of Death, Hospitalization in adults with Atrial Fibrillation no Heart Failure", a researcher speaks to the media specifically on November 21, 2014. Web MD interviews a researcher says, 

"Our findings suggest that the use of Digoxin should be re-evaluated for the treatment of Atrial Fibrillation..." Web Link:  https://www.webmd.com/heart-disease/atrial-fibrillation/news/20141121/treating-irregular-heartbeat-with-digoxin-may-come-with-risks#1 

After the 11-21-2014 press release, a researcher speaks of the digoxin study: ‘Digoxin risk of death in...Atrial Fibrillation. ...“digoxin use was independently associated with a 71% higher risk of death… 63% higher risk of hospitalization”. Web Link:  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25414270
