Introduction

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with an increased risk of stroke and thromboembolism. Despite best clinical care, patients on anticoagulation therapy still suffer from thrombosis and remain at risk of haemorrhage with devastating consequences. The assessment of different oral anticoagulants to identify the effects on plasma clots may help in identifying reasons for this.
