The idea behind the low-carb diet is that decreasing carbs lower insulin levels, which causes the body to burn stored fat for energy and ultimately leads to weight loss. In general, a low-carb diet focuses on proteins, including meat, poultry, fish and eggs, and some nonstarchy vegetables.
Your doctor will tell you how long you need to take warfarin for, and when you should stop taking it. Some people will take warfarin long term, for as long as their blood-clotting risk continues. Other uses (such as after surgery) are usually short term.
Aspirin and warfarin (Coumadin) work in different ways on the clotting cascade. Warfarin makes the blood take longer to clot, but the blood will still clot. When someone is having a heart attack, it means they are most likely clotting off an artery that supplies the heart muscle with blood. Aspirin directly affects the platelets ability to clump and cause a clot. Aspirin should still be given if a person on warfarin is suspected of having a heart attack.
