Summary

This study looks at whether warfarin, a blood thinner often used after heart surgery, affects sperm quality, hormones, and DNA in men aged 18 to 50. Researchers will compare three groups: men on long-term warfarin, men on short-term warfarin, and men not taking it. The goal is to gather early evidence to help doctors counsel patients about fertility risks.
