Anticoagulation Clinic
About the Anticoagulation Clinic
Many cardiovascular patients are prescribed medications known as anticoagulants or “blood thinners” to treat and prevent harmful blood clots. To serve the community of patients on anticoagulants, Oklahoma Heart Hospital established the Anticoagulation Clinic which specializes in providing services to patients taking these blood thinning medications. If you take an anticoagulant, you will need routine testing and monitoring to ensure that the medication is working properly and to help keep you as safe as possible while you are on the medication.
Our clinic is staffed by nurses and pharmacists with specialized training in anticoagulation management. We provide comprehensive and ongoing patient education regarding the safe use of anticoagulants so that you can become an informed member of your health care team. We will also order blood tests, adjust dosing when needed, and refill your anticoagulant medications. Our staff works together with you and your doctor to manage your medication, address any issues that might arise, and answer any questions you may have regarding your anticoagulation therapy.
Oklahoma Heart Hospital’s Anticoagulation Clinic manages over 2,300 patients that have been referred to us by more than 100 different physicians. Call (405) 242-5900 for more information about the Anticoagulation Clinic.

About Warfarin AKA Jantoven®
Warfarin is a drug used to prevent blood clots from forming or growing larger in your blood vessels. It is prescribed for people with certain types of irregular heartbeats, people with prosthetic heart valves (both tissue and mechanical), and people who have suffered a heart attack. Warfarin is also used to treat or prevent venous thrombosis (a blood clot in the vein) and pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lung). Warfarin is in a class of medications called anticoagulants (‘blood thinners’). It works by decreasing the clotting ability of the blood.
