===Class I===
 
1. Use of [[warfarin]] in conjunction with [[ASA]] and/or [[clopidogrel]] is associated with an increased risk of bleeding and should be monitored closely. (Level of Evidence: A)
 
===Class IIb===
 
1. [[Warfarin]] either without ([[INR]] 2.5 to 3.5) or with low-dose [[ASA]] (75 to 81 mg per d; [[INR]] 2.0 to 2.5) may be reasonable for patients at high [[CAD]] risk and low bleeding risk who do not require or are intolerant of [[clopidogrel]]. (Level of Evidence: B)}}
