What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Oral anticoagulation (OAC) is indicated in a wide variety of clinical conditions including atrial fibrillation (AF), mechanical valve prosthesis (MVP), deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Although direct OAC has replaced vitamin K antagonists (VKA) in non-valvular AF due to lower bleeding risk, it's still recommended to use VKA specifically in cases of valvular AF, MVP and anti-phospholipid syndrome.
