Re: leakage due to blood thinners

Hi,
I've been wondering whether the amount of reguritation through
the aortic valve increases when using blood thinners or aspirin?
That is when one already has reguritation.  Or does the opposite
happen since the blood flows more smoothly and possibly with less
resistance?
Thanks
Dan

Dear Dan
The amount of regurgitation through a native valve would neither increase or decrease as a result of coumadin or aspirin.
I hope this has been useful. I wish you the best of luck. Feel free to write back.
