What it calculates
The “Heparin Dosing” calculator computes Infusion rate in U/h from 2 parameters: body weight (kg), indication (0 = vte, 1 = acs).
Used by professionals and patients to assess health metrics, dosages, and risks.
Example calculation
With parameters Body weight = 80 kg, Indication (0 = VTE, 1 = ACS) = 0 the result is 1,440 U/h (Then adjust by aPTT after 6 h).
How to use
- Enter body weight and indication (0 = vte, 1 = acs) — each field above is adjustable with a slider.
- Infusion rate (U/h) is calculated automatically as you type.
- Check the worked example below to see the formula applied to real numbers.

FAQ
How is BMI calculated?
BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)². Example: 70 kg / (1.75 m)² = 22.9. The WHO normal range is 18.5–24.9; below that is underweight, 25–29.9 is overweight, and 30+ is obese.
Is BMI accurate for everyone?
No. BMI does not distinguish muscle from fat, so athletes may show a high BMI with low body fat. It is also less reliable for teenagers, pregnant people, older adults, and very tall or short individuals.
What are the BMI categories?
Underweight: below 18.5. Normal: 18.5–24.9. Overweight: 25–29.9. Obese class I: 30–34.9; class II: 35–39.9; class III: 40+.
What is a better measure than BMI?
Body fat percentage, waist-to-height ratio (aim for under 0.5), and waist circumference give a clearer picture of health than BMI alone.
