Abstract
This survey shows that in the real world of AF continuous medical education is still necessary to improve management of AF patients by Italian internists. Considering the large under-prescription of VKAs, deeper knowledge may advise internists about the usefulness of NOACs in AF patients, and to share clinical road map for an appropriate clinical monitoring.
