Summary

This study tests whether using a patient's gender, weight, and kidney function to calculate the first dose of the blood thinner heparin helps reach the right level faster than a standard dose based only on weight. About 145 adults with conditions like deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, atrial fibrillation, or mechanical heart valves will take part. The goal is to improve treatment speed and reduce complications.
