Assessment Of Medication Adherence, Knowledge, And Health-Related Quality Of Life Among Atrial Fibrillation Patients Using Warfarin In Penang, Malaysia

The use of oral anticoagulant therapy (OAC) has been a standard clinical practice to prevent stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation. In Malaysia, studies evaluating knowledge, non-adherence and quality of life among patients with chronic use of warfarin and their relationship with their anticoa...
