last year at this time my husband had a pe apparently as a result of knee surgery.  he went on warfarin and even at 17 mg per day could not get his blood down below one to a theraputic level.  just last month he had a heart attack - they found two clots in the right artery going to the heart.  he had a stent put in. he is only 42 and in reasonably good health (so we thought).  could the two be related - both were a result of blood clots?
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Both events are related.  Your husband is thrombophilia. He has high tendency of clotting.  He should go for investigation of thrombophilia.  It b12, homocysteine, protein c, protein s antithrombin 3 should be investigated.  He should take warfarin and keep his INR level between 2 and 3. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
