The standard anticoagulation therapy with warfarin or heparin is often replaced by new directly acting drugs known as the new oral anticoagulants
(NOAC) in recent years. For routine clinical use direct thrombin inhibitor dabigatran and direct inhibitors of activated factor
Xa rivaroxaban and apixaban are currently used. NOAC are administered mostly by the internists, particularly cardiologists, neurologists,
orthopedists and angiologists. Hematologist is often involved in the issue, if interpretation of hemostatic parameters in anticoagulant
therapy monitoring or therapy related hemorrhagic complications is necessary.
