Device proves option to warfarin in stroke study

The Watchman is an expandable cage designed to keep harmful blood clots that form in the left atrial appendage of the heart from entering the blood stream and potentially causing a stroke.


Comment: Anything that gets people off the vitamin-K antagonists and rat poisons, Warfarin/Coumadin or heparin, is good news. But consider that clotting is the natural response to weak arteries which are cracking. The best way to avoid blood clots in most people is to take Pauling's vitamin C/lysine therapy, and keep the blood vessels strong and injury free.
