Background: Prevention of thromboembolic complications is a priority in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Based on the current guidelines, the role of vitamin K antagonists (VKA) in stroke prevention has decreased in favour of novel oral anticoagulants (NOAC). Aim: To evaluate the proportion of AF patients who were prescribed a NOAC, compare populations of patients treated with VKA and NOAC, and identify factors predisposing to NOAC prescription at hospital discharge of AF patients. Methods: A single-centre prospective study was carried out based on medical records of 550 patients who were diagnosed with non-valvular AF and discharged from a Cardiology Department from September 2012 till August 2013. Results: Among 550 patients with A...
