[Recurrence of myocardial infarct after discontinued administration of oral anticoagulants: fatal rebound for certain risk groups?].
Four cases of myocardial infarction after termination of anticoagulant therapy are presented. The controversy on the clinical relevance of the "rebound-phenomenon" is discussed: although laboratory parameters seem to suggest a rebound, the phenomenon may be of clinical importance only in certain subpopulations at risk. In these patients withdrawal of the anticoagulant therapy should be gradual.
