“…Although the vast majority of Japanese patients (92.5%) underwent diagnostic procedures, requiring a lower level of procedural anticoagulation, Asian patients may respond differently to unfractionated heparin. Indeed, Shimada et al have compared activated clotting times following initial administration of weight‐adjusted unfractionated heparin among different races of patients undergoing PCI . They found that Asian patients showed higher ACT compared to other racial groups, warranting reduced heparin dosage in this population.…”

“…Variations in the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of anticoagulants such as heparin and warfarin, as well as resulting clotting times, were observed among different racial groups, including different Asian ethnicities 810. For example, genetic polymorphism of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C9 as well as vitamin K epoxide reductase are both responsible for the lower warfarin maintenance doses among the three major Asian ethnic groups (Chinese, Malay, and Indian) 9,10.…”

“…Forth, in three of the four included studies patients were recruited in western countries, only the study Cassiopea involved Asian patients. As Asians were relatively at low risk of VTE [23] and required significantly less heparin to achieve the same goal of anticoagulation compared with other races [24] , the efficacy and safety of anticoagulants for Asian patients may be different from the western patients. Finally, there was significant heterogeneity in the efficacy analyses so we did not perform the meta-analyses.…”
