Thrombogenic milieu (TM) within the left atrium plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of thromboembolic events, for which anticoagulation treatment is indicated typically on the mandatory basis. Little is known, however, about which regimen of anticoagulation, warfarin or direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), is more likely associated with TM. We evaluated relative relationship of the two treatment options with concurrently‐observed TM in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF) who underwent transesophageal echocardiography.
