Mechanism of action

Standard anticoagulation typically refers to conventional anticoagulants such as warfarin (vitamin K antagonist) or unfractionated heparin, which work by inhibiting key factors in the coagulation cascade. Warfarin inhibits vitamin K-dependent factors (II, VII, IX, X), while heparin potentiates antithrombin III to inactivate factors IIa and Xa. These agents are used to prevent and treat thromboembolism across multiple clinical settings.
