The missing slope: paradoxical shortening of activated partial thromboplastin time in a patient on unfractionated heparin therapy

This case report describes false shortening of activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) due to erroneous optical reading of the clotting point in the presence of unfractionated heparin (UFH), and a biphasic waveform. Activated partial thromboplastin time performed on a coagulometer with photo-op...
