Background And Purpose
Warfarin reduces the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) but is often underused in clinical practice. We aimed to examine the current state of warfarin use in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) patients with first-ever ischemic stroke (IS) or transient ischemic attack (TIA) in China and to analysis factors causing such underuse.
