You must check with your dr. URGENTLY, INR extremely high and dangerous For LVAD.

My Flow is steady at 4.0 with occasional fluctuation of .2 up or down. My targeted INR is 1.5 to 2.0 and I have dropped to 1.4 on occasion.and gone up to 1.7 which is the best place for me.

Contact your Cardiologist right away or in my case, I have a VAD clinic with an emergency number as well.  This is not something you want to wait on.  I hope you do well!
