Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a very common in clinical practice. The prevalence of AF is high after the age of 65 years. Patients with AF have a worse quality of life than healthy controls. However, concomitant higher hemorrhagic risks, severe cognitive and functional impairment may at least partly explain under-prescription of oral anticoagulants in the elderly.

Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a very common in clinical practice. The prevalence of AF is high after the age of 65 years. Patients with AF have a worse quality of life than healthy controls. However, concomitant higher hemorrhagic risks, severe cognitive and functional impairment may at least partly explain under-prescription of oral anticoagulants in the elderly.
