For those with artificial heart valves that is not good news. I have been on warfarin for the last 33 years. Vitamin K is an enemy unless my INR is too high.

My brother is scheduled for TAVR surgery Tuesday; this came completely out of the blue.

Regarding K, I wonder if it would have helped prevent the calcification / stenosis of the original valve.
