hello,I have gone through your question.Thanks for using HCM.A patient who underwent aortic valve replacement will need life long acitrom.INR is more reliable than PT ratio.
You need to maintain INR around 2.5.
If INR is more than this you should reduce dose if acitrom and if INR is less than this you have to increase the dose.
My best wishes.
