Yes, I have seen this. However you think they would consider the other parameters such as low blood pressure, low resting heart rate, good cholesterol levels. Being on blood thinners has its side effects and as you age not being able to take anti-inflammatories is very functionally limiting. I am going to have to have another serious discussion with my doctor about this.

The CHA2DS2-VASc score metrics are stacked against anyone over 75. It seems like the majority of people over 75 need to be on anticoagulants. No doubt big-pharma fully endorses the concept.
