Possible Deaths due to Heparin

In class last week it was discussed about the safety of warfarin compared to heparin. I've recently looked up a article from the FDA stating that possible deaths related to heparin use could be higher than expected. I posted the link below and there is another link within the article that shows figures from Jan. '07 to March '08. My personal view of the article is probably the same as any other lay article, I cant say much on the accuracy and credibility, but could still be considered an interesting read.
