Background: Despite its limitations, unfractionated heparin (UFH) has been the standard anticoagulant used during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This study compared the safety of low-dose UFH with sequential enoxaparin with that of UFH in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and complex ...
Summary Unfractionated heparin has equal anti-Xa and anti-IIa activity. For the treatment of DVT, either intravenous or subcutaneous unfractionated heparin has been adequate, provided that the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) has been within the therapeutic range. The anticoagulant effect of...
There is limited data on the use of unfractionated heparin (UFH) and low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) in patients admitted for acute pulmonary embolism (PE). Current ESC guidelines preferred LMWH over UFH based on extrapolated data. We aimed to compare UFH and LMWH in patients with acute ...
Low molecular weight heparins are rarely associated with thrombocytosis. However, the safety of transitioning to unfractionated heparin is unknown. Case presentation We report a case of a 47-year-old South Asian male who presented to the hospital after ingestion of a caustic liquid. He received su...
(CAD) is the leading cause of death in the world.The aim of this study was to compare of the effects of enoxaparin versus unfractionated heparin (UFH) on major clinical events, including mortality, myocardial infarction (MI), and recurrent angina, as well as bleeding in patients with non ...

How do low-molecular-weight heparin and unfractionated heparin compare following ST-segment elevation MI?Surprisingly, the optimum adjunctive antithrombotic regimen for patients with STEMI treated with fibrinolytic therapy is unclear. Even though the principal reperfusion therapy used worldwide is ...
The role of low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) in managing nonmassive pulmonary embolism (PE) is well known. In unstable cases, especially after thrombolytic therapy for massive PE, unfractionated heparin (UFH) is preferred for PE management. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness and ...
