BackgroundOral anticoagulant therapy reduces the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation, but many patients are still not prescribed this therapy. The causes of underuse of vitamin K antagonists oral anticoagulants are not clear but could be related, in part, to patients’ and physicians’ perceptions and attitudes towards the benefits and downsides of this treatment.
