Usually 2 to 3: From what you're describing the reason for warfarin therapy is for her atrial fibrillation ("a-fib"), a condition in which this arrhythmia may cause blood clots to form in the heart. Being on warfarin helps to keep this from happening and to help prevent pieces of the clot from breaking off and traveling all around the blood vessels. An appropriate inr for this is generally between 2 and 3.
