I have aortic valve replacement with On-X prosthetic mechanic valve 6 months ago. I'm 29yrs. I m on 4mg Acitrom (equivalent to 8mg coumadin) and 150 mg aspirin a day.

What u will suggest for me regarding INR Range, Daily walking miles, blood test frequency , heart echo frequency ,daily routine.

Please help me. I will be very thankful to u all.

Sorry can't help on this - have you tried posting on British Heart Foundation site?

I have an On-x but in the UK I believe only warfarin can be prescribed as newer drugs are not yet approved. My INR range is 2.0-3.0 but I recently asked a similar question on a facebook group for US members. Some were keeping 1.5-2.5 but many were still the same as me.
