Is Pradaxa Recommended For Patients With Fibrillation Caused By Leaky Valves?
Hi…..I saw an ad for Pradaxa, but they specifically said it’s NOT for a-fibrillation caused by leaky valves. They said it more than once very clearly, while then going on to explain all the benefits over warfarin, including no blood tests. So I don’t know if mom (84 yo, leaky valves, pacemaker for 5 years) could ever take it…..??
