Overview

When warfarin is used in conjunction with antiplatelet agents, there is an increased risk of bleeding. The treating physician should be aware of this to provide the appropriate monitoring and management.

2012 ACCF/AHA Focused Update of the Guideline for the Management of Patients With Unstable Angina/Non–ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (Updating the 2007 Guideline and Replacing the 2011 Focused Update) (DO NOT EDIT)[1][2]

Warfarin Therapy (DO NOT EDIT)[1][2]

Class I
"1. Use of warfarin in conjunction with aspirin and/or P2Y12 receptor inhibitor therapy is associated with an increased risk of bleeding, and patients and clinicians should watch for bleeding, especially GI, and seek medical evaluation for evidence of bleeding.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] (Level of Evidence: A)"
Class IIb
"1. Warfarin either without (INR 2.5 to 3.5) or with low-dose aspirin (81 mg per day; INR 2.0 to 2.5) may be reasonable for patients at high coronary artery disease risk and low bleeding risk who do not require or are intolerant of P2Y12 receptor inhibitor therapy.[11][12] (Level of Evidence: B)"
"2. Targeting oral anticoagulant therapy to a lower INR (eg, 2.0 to 2.5) might be reasonable in patients with UA/NSTEMI managed with aspirin and a P2Y12 inhibitor. (Level of Evidence: C)"
